Well, I was wrong. No GTS 250, but we do get new GT 120, GT130, HD4850 and HD4870 GPUs in various configurations of Mac Minis, iMacs and Mac Pros. More details on the Apple UK Store.
Great news on faster cards all round, but some weird choices by NVIDIA and Apple. GT 120 and GT 130, which are rebranded Series 9 cards, nothing higher? As it’s likely these Macs will see Snow Leopard, I would have assumed they would have tried to get the latest, high performance cards to really show off the speed of Snow Leopard. Then again, maybe these cards have been chosen so they can be run in SLI in Snow Leopard? We’ll have to wait and see.
That’s my initial thoughts, simply because I’ve been waiting for better GPUs since last summer. Once the dust settles, I’ll take a closer look at these new machines.
