Hi I'm on a 2017 Macbook Pro 15in with the Radeon 560; running MacOS 10.13.3 and the latest version of Spotify avaible today. According to Activity Monitor Spotify is using the discrete GPU. This should really not be happening as Spotify doesn't do any heavy animations or anything like that. I also hypothesize that it is using the 560, but barely using it at all (because it shouldn't need to) as my computer doesn't really heat up to the degree that it would when really pushing the GPU. I still think this is a problem because it is detrimental to the battery life of my device.
edit: Well I just recieved an update for Spotify and it appears now that they have fixed the problem. Thanks devs! Although the update did nerf all my offline songs for some reason and I had to redownload them... (added second photo of activity monitor)
Solved! Go to Solution.
