Comments on: Nvidia chips score big in Apple Mac lineup

Nvidia graphics chips are now used across the entire Apple Mac lineup.

We'll see how it goes. Personally I think it's a great move from the graphics chips they were using.

There must be a discount or something for apple, because it had lots of trouble with faulty Nvidia chips ,and Amd went for Apple's OpenCL programming Language for GPGPU to please Apple.
And now no Ati Gpu´s... i smell intel like discount deals.

It's interesting to see them move away from ATI, which they had used exclusively for years. Although, it's interesting to note that the top dog available in the Mac Pro is the ATI Radeon HD 4870 with 512MB of GDDR5.

But if I were to believe the crap Intel spews, Nvidia chips are worthless and Intel graphics are more bang for the buck ;)

Good thing no one listens to Intel when it comes to graphics. Except maybe Microsoft who buckled under Intel pressure on the Vista Capable campaign.

Intel should just drop out of the graphics game and leave it to the professionals.

Prepping for Snow Leopard it seems.

Prepping for snowleopard because they KNOW that its gonna be a resource hog.

I agree though that the base intel chips don't compare and most makers offer chips other than intel for their GPU and should always do so, its good apple is making this move.

Apple always seems to be 1 generation behind available GPU's for their machines, though.

E-D-U-C-A-T-E yourself.

[ballmerisanape]

Your embarrassing yourself. Seriously.

On the two high end iMacs the ATI Radeon HD 4850 is available as the high end graphics choice.

Aren't Nvidia's chips infringing on Rambus' patents? Strange that Apple would go full tilt with infringing products. See http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssTechMediaTelecomNews/idUSN0349253520090304
