UI Lag on MBPr 15" almost completely gone

[prfrma]

Seems like it was almost all software. No UI lag for me any more and stunning performance on games at (undoubled) 1080p.

Maybe the 13" might get better over time with new firmware? (although it's unlikely)

Seems like it was almost all software.

I thought we agreed months ago it was a software issue and that driver updates would improve lag?

Most lag issues are to do with Adobe Flash (and Flash movies) on websites, which is the issue Jobs brought up a couple of years ago.

is there any UI lag at 1920x1200 scaled resolution?

No UI lag to report here on my 13" retina macbook.

Turns out that Chrome doesn't handle retina resolution nearly as well as Safari.

Except I keep seeing people posting new threads saying the Intel HD4000 cannot drive retina resolutions (it is far more than capable, both in terms of fill rates and memory bandwidth, including scaling), it is an incorrect meme that will not die... 😡

I still see some lag from time-to-time. I did get better though with software updates.
