![]() ![]() GPU Gaming Performance Comparison - Windows 7 I ran all of my gaming tests under Bootcamp in Windows 7: The 9600M should fall somewhere in between the 9400M and the GT 330M in performance. I didn't have access to any MacBook Pros with a 9600M, so my only performance comparison is to the 9400M. The end result is much better GPU performance, something that will start to matter now that OS X is getting Steam. In addition to having more shader power, the GT 330M runs at a higher clock speed than last year's offerings. Those GPUs were also built on TSMC's 65nm process, but power consumption may not be lower on the 330M given what we've seen with NVIDIA's desktop 40nm. This is up from 16 in the GeForce 9400M that shipped on last year's MBPs, and 32 in the optional GeForce 9600M. ![]() The discrete GPU Apple settled on in the 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pro isn't bad for a notebook. The GT 330M is a 40nm chip with 48 SPs, cores, CUDA funhouses or whatever you want to call them.
