I'm really very surprised at the outcome ! Thank you for the benchmark tests Joris, I've always wondered about this! I've primarily been working 640x480 all this time but will definitely now consider going the full HD route!

**As noted by RenderRabbit Cosmowe, Resolume as of 4.1.8 does not yet take advantage of the dual graphics cards in this laptop, so this was based off of just one of the card's rendering...as you can see from either of our results the Alienwares seem to pair quite nicely with Resolume!

Cheers!

Joris, any chance you guys could make a 4K benchmark file as well?

I've done a slightly different benchmark, because I am interested to know how the 750M card and the integrated Iris Pro graphics compare in terms of video performance. Mavericks won't let you switch the GPU manually anymore in its preferences, but I found this app called gfxCardStatus which seem to let you do it. You can't switch off the discrete graphics card if you have an external monitor attached, so that's why I left out the 2nd display measurements for the Iris graphics. Also I didn't test 640x480 since I figured it doesn't help for this comparison.

A few remarkable observations:
* Quite a bit slower than the benchmark of Oaktown, although the only difference is 2.3 vs 2.6gHz cpu.
* Outperformed by the MackBookPro Retina Mid 2012
* Different output and GPUs setups didn't really make a difference.

0x80, this is all great information but what's the point of testing a system without external displays? Testing your system without any external display would be like taking a Ferrari for a test drive while it's on 4 jacks. Unless you're going to run a show on your 15" monitor, you need to use external displays.

If you want to test the Intel Iris Pro Graphics with external displays on a Macbook Pro, you need to use a lower end Macbook Pro without a discrete GPU. But if you have a Macbook Pro with a discrete GPU (GT 750M in your case), you'll need to use that card to output graphics to your external displays and that's a good thing. Trust me, there will be a big difference between the two systems especially as you try scaling up.
