This is similar to what the 2011 iMac's display did... Apple did a recall/replace on all of them. When the owner brought it in...
Mine still does it from time to time after Apple replaced my video card, a restart (or 3) and plugging in an external monitor gets me back up and running for a week or so before another incident.
(in doing a little searching for a picture, sounds like the 2011 15" MBP also was prone to this issue.. 2011 was a bad year, looks like 2016 could be a repeat)
I'm gonna say no but we'll see, the 2015 however does fit that bill and by the grace of god, 10 hours on the road and two extremely helpful Apple seniors my '15 is NO MORE! Best $300 I've spent in a long long time! Props to Ryan @ the OKC store!
That aside I've had a chance to observe my "new" 455pro and design wise it appears to be just about perfect other than the annoying touch bar.
Right off the bat I can tell serious revamps were made to the thermals. Either they are using much larger heat sinks, fans, both or using better software to control them.
Fan inputs are far more linear and the new target seems to be 75C*-80C* as opposed to 90 or 100.
Highest observed temp was 83/81 with fans at 4100/6000rpm.
Chassis does heat up more than the previous one did but it's more responsive to pad coolers as I was seeing mid to low 70s on full load so thermals won't be fatal this time.
Theory: 460s might be problematic because of low yields at 35w as the other two are die-fused or as others stated the vram via drivers may be to blame.
