MBP - Nvidia yes or no

• kingsteven0

  I'm trying to get to the bottom of this myself, apparently Iris is not quite as fast for gaming & openGL, but not far behind + openCL stuff may actually be faster. Also read somewhere that the NVIDIA model actually has both chips and that OSX dynamically switches based on the task or you can allocate which in yr software...

  • a tough question this is. in fact, the big model has both GPUs because the intel iris is integrated in the CPU.mekk

  Photos — no, you'll be fine.
  Anything 3D, including games — yes.

  After using the new all shiny Pro with almost full spec I returned it today. The screen is crap for everyone doing serious work. This is not a 'Pro' tool anymore, it is just a damn expensive toy.
