Hey guys, i just wanted to know how capable the 950 card is im not really to concerned about it since i dont play that many games, but im still kind of in the phase of either purchasing a mac or a win computer and i just wanted to know since i putting more money forward to buy a mac and the graphics card is clearly not as good as the one on the window, why i should get the mac. I just want to hear your guys opinion on this. I mean if the card will play update games like the win computer then i will go with the mac, so can anyone just give me a rough estimate as to how capable this card is ? and if they feel this is a major set back in the macbook?

the 950 isn't much to write home about, but it can do some 3D acceleration, so older 3D games will run fine on it (I also run XP with boot camp on my macbook, and I've been able to play Dungeon Siege on it without any problems). That said, you won't be able to play the most recent games on it (PC or MAC). You can also run 3D graphic apps on it, it depends on how heavy your mesh is...I haven't really done any testing to really see how many polygons it can handle though (I installed Blender, but I haven't really done much with it).

It would be nice if Apple could use a card with it's own memory in future macbooks, It doesn't have to the the latest and greatest, but better than a Intel 950 GMA.
