Which of two Macbook video cards?

Post by synapse_gh »

Looking at two different refurb 15" MBPs as a backup Arena machine. Would appreciate any advice on which graphics card will keep Arena humming along happier.

Intel HD Graphics 3000 and AMD Radeon HD 6770M

or

NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory

I'm somewhat familiar with the way Resolume apportions graphics task, but I have no experience on whether a discrete-but-less-capable graphics card is helpful. Any advice appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm a big fan of NVIDIA cards myself...the ATI stuff just didn't seem to play as nicely with anything
