GeForce 9600 GT Mac Edition vs Radeon HD 6450
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce 9600 GT Mac Edition |
| Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Tesla), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
| PhysX support, however PhysX performance on newest games may be poor |
Reasons to consider Radeon HD 6450 |
| 77 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce 9600 GT Mac Edition . |
| This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
| Based on an outdated architecture (ATI TeraScale), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
