I recently received my HD 17" MacBook Pro 2.6ghz and I am experiencing very minor screen tearing on the magnifying dock. But what bothers me most is the sluggish iSight. The problem wasn't as visible in Photo Booth but was very obvious in iChat. When I did a video chat with my wife's MacBook (Leopard), the video is very sluggish in the Effect panel. My video was running 5-6 fps while my wife's MacBook runs 15fps+ without lag, even when she opens up the Effect panel on her MacBook.
I thought the nVidia 8600GT 256MB on the MacBook Pro is suppose to be better than the Intel integrated graphics on MacBook. Is it that the Leopard's core video wasn't optimized to the nVidia chip? I've read somewhere that I can do some commands to make it run smoother, but I haven't try them. Anyone else with their MacBook Pros having the same issue?
I've tried the reset PRAM method some have suggested but it doesn't work.
Both laptops are running 10.5.1
