MacbookPro 2016: 2.7 vs 2.9 Worth the difference ??

[bonhor]

Is it worth uprading from 2.7 to 2.9GHz inthe 15inch macbook pros from 2016?
For video and photo editing.
Better to upgrade processor or grafics?

Thanks

If it were me...I would go with the better graphics hardware. Going from the 2.7 to 2.9 CPU is only a small "speedbump'.

p.s. Thread moved to better area. MacBook Pro's are notebook computers...thread was in desktop area.

I went with the 2.9 instead of the 2.7 only because that's what they had in stock in my local Apple store. When I was going to order one, I was going to order the 2.7. Graphics wise I was going to order the Radeon 460, and the one they had in the store also had that option, so I lucked out there.

Yes. Getting both the faster CPU and the better graphics is the best of both worlds.
