QUOTE(BRY7 @ Jul 17 2011, 07:05 PM) Old models use nvidia. I wonder why they don't offer an option for both All new mac models are using ati QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Jul 17 2011, 08:04 PM) any reason why u must have an nvidia card? cuda? PhysX probably. Or because I'm complete noob when it comes to Ati gfx.Mine's using the HD6490 right now. How good does it handle for newer games in windows? (It's dual booted with Win7 btw) |

QUOTE(BRY7 @ Jul 17 2011, 08:48 PM) I believe it's because the dispute between intel and nvidia last time. Really? But Alienware is still using Intel with nvidia.Correct me if I'm wrong QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Jul 17 2011, 09:21 PM) i think the dispute was about nvidia chipsets, not GPUs. i think laaa ;P hmm.. still does my 6940 gives good performance for newer games?btw the 1st gen MBP used ati radeon x1600. only the 2nd gen started to use nvidia 7600gt. now back to ati once again I don't want to spend cash for an AW =.= |
