Impressive. Let’s wait to see the internal temps in these wonder machines. No need to fry eggs on your MBP.
Impressive!!! It even beats the razer one with the 1070 maxQ. And we are talking about performance in real apps, not some benchmarks...
RTX features are so infantile on PC, no comcern at all for gamers in general for quite some time.Sorry to offend you if you cant afford a dedicated graphics PC... seems like theres a fair bit of hate coming from you..
Ray tracing in BFV, everything ultra including RTX in ultra setting, is around 80-100fps for me at 1080p.
As I play competitively, I play it with RTX turned off, to max out the 240hz monitor. For RPG games, you bet it will be incredible
That is interesting as really this should be performing on 1050Ti level by all rights (still impressive assuming it's a 35W TDP as with the 555X and 560X - it would then be undercutting the TDP of the Nvidia chip by half - the 1050Ti uses up to 70W!). I'd wait for more reviews to rule out this being a fluke, though.Impressive!!! It even beats the razer one with the 1070 maxQ.

RTX was never meant to be a concern, rather something to look forward toRTX features are so infantile on PC, no comcern at all for gamers in general for quite some time.
Right but the range in performance difference from available onboard GPUs is simply not price, heat, battery, adjusted. Any render that will complete in your flight would be hard pressed to not complete with base or max. Either way, plug in your eGPU when you land and export in 1/10th the time and still deliver.
If gaming...well...come on. Really? I’ll play at reduced settings while in flight to maintain the trifecta of, price, heat, battery.
Who really games on a Mac? If your spending this kind of money and trying to game on your Mac your just silly. You could spend half this money in a windows machine and get way better performance for gaming so gaming really is out of the question. As for render times, heat, and battery, the Vega 20 is consuming much less power thus less heat and less Battery drain thanks to the new architecture and High bandwidth memory. I would prefer to spend a few extra hundred dollars to have that internally instead of carrying around my eGPU everywhere. The performance difference comparred to the pain of lugging it around it worth the trade off in my opinion.
I bought the one that came out earlier this year maxed out (on day one of launch). Is there anything I can say or do to get apple to change it to the one with Vega 20 Pro (obviously I’d be happy to pay the price difference). I’m pretty pissed that I could’ve paid a little more and gotten a way better graphics card.
There are lots of people like myself who don't buy a mac for gaming and are not gamers. But sometimes on a Sunday we like to throw down some Warhammer or Starcraft. It's nice to have that as a possibility. We could build or buy a whole other computer for our Sunday gaming, but maybe it's not worth that much to us.
Holy hell!!!!!! I don't think anyone can complain about performance on the MBP anymore (for the time being)
Honest question (I have very little knowledge on high performance laptops): how's the Apple Tax on these high-end 15" MBPs? Are they comparable to similarly-specced Windows laptops? Are they worth the extra price?
Good Luck with that. Apple honestly is pretty good about returns even way after the 14 day mark (normally it’s 14 days) and I have seen people return their Mac 45 Days after purchase pending your issue/complaint. But if you bought yours in the summer? I doubt apple will work with you on this one.

I understand your stance trust me I was in your camp back in 2012 when I made the move to the rMBP. The difference here is though if you want to achieve that then just stick with the 560X and put that money into an eGPU and case for roughly the same amount of money then it will satisfy both needs.
I think this is 1050Ti level performance. That's not amazing but impressive given the form factor.
I can get an EGPU and case for 350? I don't think so. Now, maybe I could go with the low end 15" Macbook Pro and EGPU. Maybe that makes sense. But then I'm stuck with a 256GB internal SSD. Apple's pricing always makes it impossible to make a decision. Nothing seems like a good deal. HAHA! I guess that's Apple for you.

I still wish Apple would just make these notebooks a little thicker so they could use more powerful parts.
Or you just want a smooth running 15 inch notebook and suddenly it becomes ridiculous. In Germany the cheapest 15 inch macbook Apple sells costs just over 3000$. The new graphics card version starts at 4200$. My 2010 Macbook Pro with upgraded screen, Ram cost less than 2000$. Inflation is a b...
Still nice Apple offers these to whomever wants to afford them.
It must of got left behind three months ago when Apple released new Macbook Pro's to video editers saying "this is the best machine ever for you" while knowing full well they were going to release a better machine after they got those suckers, who couldn't wait any more, money.but...but...where is the innovation?!?!
