2011 MBP 13" and 27" ACD

[thetrumanator]

So I will be buying a new macbook her in a few days and an apple store is really far away from me. I was wondering how well the new macbook pro powers the big screen with such bad graphics. I game, not to much but still, and I wanna make sure everything will look good. Its a whole lotta money for those things. i scowered the forums but couldn't find anthing directly related between the two items

Can't speak from experience, but I would assume apple makes sure all it's hardware is fully compatible.

There is no way the integrated graphics in the 13" will power the ACD 27" for games.

Yes, the intel graphics of the 13" can drive the 27" Apple Cinema Display.

NO you will NOT be able to play Crysis 2 @ Max Res + Eye Candy.

I don't think the highest end MBP can do that
