5K+4K monitors simultaneously - which GPU should I get - 450/455/460

[pubmsu]

Hi,

I would rather save money if the lower spec GPU is still sufficient for driving one 5K and one 4K monitor simultaneously without any stutter or lag. So the question is can a 450 do this job or must I need either 455 or rather 460?

I won't game or use any graphics-intensive app.

Battery life while detached from the monitors is also a concern. So which one should I get?

Many thanks for suggestions!

Tbh you can increase your storage with external solutions, CPU upgrades provide unnoticable speed increase, but you're stuck with the GPU you chose. So I'd always suggest getting the best GPU you can. The GPU upgrade isn't very costly either.

Given how Apple has never been known to provide "overpowering" GPU options, I'd recommend getting the best one they offer on most all machines, especially given the displays being driven nowadays.
