Graphics card question

[DirtySocks85]

Would I be correct in assuming that the NVIDIA GeForce 320M in the April 2010 13" MBP is not considered higher than "ATI Radeon 2400 or higher / NVIDIA 8600M"? That's the minimum system spec for Portal 2, and I'm thinking that my 13" MBP won't run it. Can anyone give me a straight answer on this? Thanks.

Valve will be releasing a Mac OS X version of Portal 2. The 320m should be more than adequate to run it though you may have to tweak the graphics settings a little bit.

I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm aware of the fact that there will be an OS X version. That's where I got the system requirements.

Mac System Requirements
OS: MAC OS X 10.6.6 or higher
Processor: Intel Core Duo Processor (2GHz or better)
Memory: 2GB
Hard Disk Space: At least 7.6 GB of Space
Video: ATI Radeon 2400 or higher / NVIDIA 8600M or higher

So what I want to know is, does the 320M in the 2010 13" MBP count as "NVIDIA 8600M or higher", I don't know a whole lot about graphics cards, and that makes it hard to tell what is considered "higher" since they clearly don't just put them in numerical order.

Short answer: It's slightly better than the 8600M. You'll play all right.
