Short description of error
Blender does not use discrete GPU in Macbook Pro 15" 2018.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Opened Blender and used activity monitor to check for GPU utilization. Tried disabling automatic graphics switching in macOS settings to force discrete GPU usage, much smoother.
