Run a 30" Display on a MBP

[techlover828]

I have a SR MBP with 128 of vram. I was curious as to whether it is able to run a 30" screen in extended desktop mode, this would be for down the road and I wasn't sure if it would be able to run it smoothly.

thanks in advanced.

It'll be flawless... the MBP has dual link DVI and thus supports those really high resolutions... you'll be fine, nothin' to worry about.

The extra graphics memory will only make a difference for games / rendering 3D graphics and shouldn't have any effect on normal usage on a 30" monitor at its highest resolution.

As iToaster said above me, it's the Dual Link DVI that's the important thing not the graphics memory.

The fact that it used to take two DVI connections and a custom graphics card in the PowerMac to power a 30" display and it can now be used on a notebook should be enough to let you know that performance is okay. ;p It works fine.

um. a 30" has never needed two connections. they use the same dual-link DVI that the MBP does.
