[QUOTE="familychoice, post: 1439650, member: 261678"] Hi, I'm thinking of going for a 1680x1050 high-resolution glossy upgrade with a new MBP purchase. Just a couple of questions: Will the base model NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 512MB of GDDR5 memory cope well with the increased resolution? I know there have been a few issues with maxed out graphics cards with the Retina models, and though this isn't as hi-res as the retina, the graphics memory is half the size of that of the retina base model. Will the 1680x1050 high-resolution display option provide better quality when connected to my 1920x1200 external display over the standard 1440x900 (native) option? Sorry if these questions are a bit numpty-ish, I'd appreciate any help :) [/QUOTE]
