    Is it possible??...a long-term "solution" for 2011 dGPU failure that defaults the system to the iGPU

    The 15-inch 2011 MacBook Pro is something that Apple and AMD both probably wish to put behind them. However, for those that own the computers, doing so isn't quite as easy, because they are aware that they have a fully functional computer, minus one part, and that the system itself ironically...

    Will Apple support ThunderBolt 3 External GPUs?

    Any investment of $2,500-$4,500 often leaves the individual consumer contemplating the long-term relevancy of that purchase. After all, that higher purchase price for a premium product often means that product will be used for a longer period than a budget alternative. The MacBook Pro is no...

    G4 Cube GPU Upgrade

    Quick question here. I'm looking for a video card to upgrade the stock Rage 128 in my Cube and am in a bit of a dilemma. I don't have another AGP computer to flash a PC video card, I'm using an Apple Studio Display via ADC (would prefer to avoid bulky DVI/VGA adapter cables), and Quartz...

    2011 MBP-15in GPU failing -- want Lead GPU Reballing References

    I have a 2011 MBP-15 with the defective GPU design that now is failing (and the program has ended.) I want to have the GPU reballed, as it seems the only option that might work for a reasonable price with a semi-reasonable outcome. I considered: Purchasing a used 2011 logic board for $350-450...

    My rMBP's GPU is dying :(

    Some of the artefacts don't even appear on the screenshots. I'm sad, this ************ rocked flawlessly since I bought it in OCT 2012. Do you guys have any idea of how much would it cost to replace the GPU (or I guess the entire motherboard) of a 2012 15 inch rMBP? I'm totally not buying one...

    Which Apps Most Use the GPU

    I have been wondering, which apps will most benefit from the GPU, (not including gaming). With products like the Akitio eGPU, where am I going to see a breathtaking performance difference? Will it make rendering faster? For example, will it make MPEGStreamClip batch render faster? Will I be...

    Hi all, since it looks like nowadays the RX 480 is a very good upgrade for a 5,1 Mac Pro I'm wondering about any serious CONs of having a "no boot screen" GPU (PROs are obvious in terms of GPU power, lower TDP, etc). Here some raw numbers for comparison... GPUBoss' RX-480 vs Radeon HD 5870...

    I ordered the higher spec MacBook Pro with the Radeon Pro 455 but am wondering if I should consider exchanging and upgrading to the 460. Are there any benchmarks out there yet comparing the three GPU options?
