If you use high-end image or video applications, or for whatever reason can't live without the "ripple" effect in Dashboard, you might want to consider buying a Core Image-compatible video card; otherwise don't bother. John Siracusa explains Quartz 2D Extreme, Core Image, and Core Video at some length in his review of Tiger. On page 19 he summarizes: "The GPU-powered graphics technologies [of Tiger] play less of a role in day-to-day performance increases than you might expect. Think of them instead as enablers of entirely new things (e.g., Core Video effects) rather the bringers of 'the snappy.'" got feedback? by JJ |
