nVidia’s GPU again!
December 3rd, 2008
The old MacBook Pro equipped with nVidia’s GeForce 8600M GT have some problems to resist it’s own heat, some laptops finishing with a black screen ou fuzzy lines after 3D games play, needin’ motherboard replacement. Apple extended their GPU warranty to 3 years, not solving the problem at all.
MacBook Pro w/ GeForce 9600M GT
The new MacBook Pro comes with a nVidia’s GeForce 9600M GT that seems to be overheaten (again), ending with black screens. Hopefully the laptop seems to be alive after a reset.
But the main reason to choose a MacBook Pro over a MacBook is the integrated GeForce 9600M GT 3D GPU able to give 3X to 5X more game speed, or to enable real CUDA computations.
What will Apple do this time?
