I have a 2012 MBP with the following Spec.
2.2GHz quad-core intel Core i7 processor
4GB SDRM
500GB HDD
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6750M Graphics Processor - 512MB of GDDR5 memory
At the time this was the best Graphics card available for it.
I have recently discovered a game which I love to play. I run 2x 1920x1080 screens for work but run 1920x1080 res instead of 3840x1080 not only because it runs laggy but also due to playing down the middle of 2 screens is pointless. I also have to choose lower settings, but don't get me wrong it still plays superbly but I want more out of it.
The MBP is used in clamshell mode in a stand on my desk and I do worry about heat etc with it being closed during game play as it does generate some noise not sure heat temps as don't know how to show these, however I was wondering if I could upgrade the Graphics internally or even externally without buying a dedicated gaming computer to get more from gaming.
Your advise is much appreciated as I have no clue when it comes to this sort of thing.
TIA
