    GPU performance comparison 2013-current?

    I've been searching Google for some benchmarks for GPU performance of MPBs between 2013 - current, and I can't seem to find anything. Just curious if anyone here can find a link. Just trying to determine (or justify) a new MBP. I'm currently on a late 2013 which is, in all honesty, still...

My main concern is that I can't spend money for the mid 575 model, so if I would buy, it would be the base model and this time I would go pure SSD the...

    Why so excited about eGPU when performance drop on TB3 may be over 30%

    Over the week on this forum I noticed couple times people saying that for some there's no need to get the iMac with best GPU, that better get the lowest and in the future, if needed, get external Thunderbolt 3 GPU.
