Gizmodo: "Apple Can Enable Dual GPU..."

[Hissta]

Gizmodo states that NVidia confirms the new chipset in MBP support up to 8 GB of RAM, Dual GPU capability, and on-the-fly switching. It can be put in place with a firmware/software/driver update. Here is hoping Apple incorporates this when available.

I'm sure that the OS is the issue right now, and we'll see an update - most likely with 10.6.

If they don't implement it in Leopard, Snow Leopard and OpenCL will definitely bring this feature in.

Im sure that some people would love it, but keep in mind that itd be terrible for battery life (meaning use it only when plugged in)

Yeah I read one site said using the 9600gt in games only gave .8 hours of battery life as it is.

Yup, its just like Apple enabled the much requested features on the iPhone that wasn't there when it was released, like copy/paste, mms, video recording, a2dp, etc .. oh wait. 🙄

Someone needs to jailbreak these new systems so that we can get full performance out of them 😎
