    Late 2013 15" MBP 4k@60Hz external monitor integrated GPU

    I'm curious if the A1398 2013 - 2014 15" MacBook Pros can drive an external 4k display at 60Hz over thunderbolt DisplayPort using the integrated GPU.

    Here comes another dedicated GPU (dGPU) issue on my Late 2013 15" MacBook Pro! Problem: My NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M idles hotter than other MacBook Pros with the same dGPU, using up 17W of power at idle. This heats up my CPU +10c when dGPU is enabled and just idling, due to the fact that they...

    Previous generation MacBook Pro models without GPU issues?

    I've been thinking about getting a used MacBook Pro. I'd like a model made between mid 2010 and 2015, but it seems a number of them have GPUs that will give out over time. From what I already know, it seems like 2012 pre-retina models are good, and pretty much anything after mid 2013 is okay...
