Well I've been waiting since March to buy a MBP, since they're here now I'm a bit confused as to what one I should get. I'll be using software such as Resolume 4, Madmapper, Quartz Composer, After Effects, Photoshop etc etc..

Bit confused whether the 6770 will be good enough or it is worthwhile getting the new ones with the GT650.

I definitely know that the GT120 in my aging Imac is not good enough.
