A static amount of 256MiB of system RAM used as VRAM. Supported DirectX 10.1 instead of 10.0, unlike earlier chipsets. Similarly, audio w/ video is supported over its mini-DP port, whereas prior chipsets only supported video out. Up to 16GB of RAM can be used, official Apple documentation is incorrect. |
