Hello
I am not sure if I should go with the older Nvidia GeForce GT750M or with the latest model that comes with a •AMD Radeon R9 M370X Graphics (2GB GDDR5)
Or how is the integrated Graphics Iris Pro on either machine worth just getting that one...
I have the Aja 4K IO unit and want to make sure if upgrading to the latest MacBook pro (Bootcamp) is worth it...
Currently I am using the Mid 2012 MacBookPro with the 650M Nvidia Card.

Thank you for your thoughts...

HI.

vMix is for Nvidia GPU only if you want to get the full power from it :)

Cheers,

Ohh what a bummer. I guess it has to do with the cuda that only nvidia has. I guess I will hold on to my old MacBook then. Thank you very much.

Where did you get that information? I read about many users who are using AMD videocards just fine?

AMD cards are also supporting direct x, don't see why they would not work. I'm now assembling a machine with a R9 290x, will let you guys know how well it works :)
