@BluebellFlora The new AMD is the RX 400 series that I was talking about having issues on desktop. Is R9 400 series the laptop version? I get so confused with AMD. A lot of their card numbers are similar from generation to generation. The integrated cards and dedicated cards have almost the same numbers. Nvidia cards are so much easier to follow in terms of series and year they came out.
They have AMD Radeon Pro 455 or 460 in 15" MacBook Pros, AMD Radeon R9 M380, M390 or M395 in the 27" iMacs
The R9 300 M laptop series I know. I have not seen the pro 455 and 460. Im guessing these must be new or newer issued along the new 400 series desktop cards ?
According to Wiki, fountain of all knowledge, they're the professional oriented GPUs and the new 15" MBPs are the first to use the mobile version. I'm pleased Apple are using AMD again, they've always performed better than NVIDIA GPUs in Macs.
Thanks. Another reason Mac is different than laptop PC . They might put AMD in lower end laptop but for gaming they use Nvidia. The AMD laptops heat up more. I'm glad that they put AMD in Mac if they perform better for Mac users. You should get the most for your money especially for what Mac charges.
