Hello! There were reports about failing graphics cards in one or more series' of MacBooks Pro. Mine, 17" early 2011 with Core i7 (2720QM, "Sandy Bridge") and upgraded to 16 GB of RAM, has AMD Radeon HD 6750M and Intel HD 3000. The main board had to be changed in 2013, I think. Apple later took over the cost. Around last Christmas the graphics defect appeared again, triggered possibly by an OS upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to OS X 10.11.6, El Capitan. My Mac was repaired by soldering one graphics IC (did not care which). The repair was not perfect, still "glitches" happen, particularly when RAM is overcrowded (disk has some ten GB free space for VM) because at least the built-in intel HD Graphics uses normal RAM. An application, gfxCardStatus 2.3, allows to monitor switching and also to set this or that active. I use this function to clean the screen when artefacts are left from "voluntary" switches (Google Earth or Java Console activate always the Radeon), one Java application seems to produce these artefacts often. When clearing the screen by setting this and than that and than again this graphics active (or such) the NS variant of GNU Emacs 27.0.50 crashes very often while the X clients, GNU Emacs 26.0.90, simply continue to work. The former was built and installed by MacPorts, the latter is manually compiled. BTW, I intend to upgrade to OS X 10.13, High Sierra, over Easter. In GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0, NS appkit-1404.47 Version 10.11.6 (Build 15G18013)) of 2017-12-29 built on Sumac.fritz.box Repository revision: 0bddbbc5aae621d5875880ac3e63f68d481df7c3 Windowing system distributor 'Apple', version 10.3.1404 Recent messages: Mark set [7 times] Mark activated Mark set [2 times] Undo!

But to chemists solutions are things that are still all mixed up.
