In this tutorial I’ll show you how to hack support for your Apple flavored AMD GPU into the latest AMD GPU drivers, which at the time of this publication are Crimson Edition 16.1.1 Beta. However, I often boot straight into BootCamp to play & develop games in a native Windows environment which brings me to the Achilles’ heel of this machine… the old BootCamp GPU drivers that rarely receive updates from AMD or Apple. It all ran without a hitch and was simply amazing that I could do all that work simultaneously in a single portable DAW / GameDev machine. For instance during development for Orcs Must Die! 2 I was running heavy sound design sessions in Ableton Live on OSX, with FMOD Designer and the developer builds of OMD2 under a Parallels VM. I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro with a Radeon HD 6750m GPU, it’s the last 17 inch laptop Apple produced & has handled anything I’ve thrown at it.
