Very true. My delusional dream would be Apple adopting something like this to keep their MBPs like, up to date and up to snuff with every other computer companies. But that'll start happening in maybe...never. lol
Right now, not a single Mac can play WoW: Legion on High. Medium pushes it even. Doesn't help Blizz still trying to support Metal without very much support for that by Apple. Look at Razer laptops, adamapple. There's also ASUS, Ghost (MSI) which are super nice, though maybe too hardcore. But just don't buy a Mac expecting to play WoW decently at the moment unless you get the most expensive one which isn't worth it.
The best MacBook Pro right now has a 2.8GHZ i7, R9 370X and 16GB RAM. It won't be able to hack it beyond a mix of low and medium settings. My iMac at 5K 50% render scale is in medium/high settings and it has a 4GHz i7, R9 395X and 32GB RAM.
Forget ultra settings. My gaming PC at 4K 100% render scale at max settings is getting 23 FPS in the Legion Invasions with a 5930K, GTX 1080 SLI, 32GB DDR4 Quad Channel. In normal play with up to 5 mans I can expect 45 to 150 FPS depending on the detail of the environment at the time.
If we want to see the same performance Apple needs to give us desktop class consumer graphics cards. I simply do not know why they refuse to make a tower gaming PC. I don't even care if they pass the SLI license fee to me so I have to pay to make it work. Just give me a gaming platform with X99 and support for my choice of AMD or nvidia desktop graphics chips.
Apple needs to stop worrying about their products eating into each others profits and realize that if they don't do something soon their Mac line will collapse as their iPhones and iPads continue to stagnate.
For the love of God Mr Cook give us a gaming machine!!!!! Who cares if it eats into the Mac Pro profits. It's not like you're updating that one anyways.
