[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 781815, member: 24160"] I know the ATI in my MBP is under clocked after doing some checking right after getting it. Wouldn't be surprised if most graphics cards were. Apple wouldn't be the first, nor only manufacturer to do it. When I was doing support for Dell (many moons ago now), pretty much all ATI cards were under clocked. They were also proprietary to Dell (e.g. they were not the same card as the one you would buy retail, that's one of the ways they kept the cost down). You couldn't even use the drivers from ATI with them, you had to use Dell's (at least for support and if you wanted the card functioning properly). [/QUOTE]
