S: your GPU is shit

Apple is the kind of company that hold a grudge for a very long time, their relationships with suppliers are very one way, their way or the highway.

- rcruzeiro 1y agoI think the ones that failed were the AMD ones, specifically the old 17 inches MacBook Pro.
- roboror 1y agoD700s dying in the trash can Mac Pros cost me (and many others) a lot of time and money.
- MBCook 1y agoI had 15” MBP, maybe a 2010, that was dual GPU with an Nvidia that was definitely a problem.
- spectre3d 1y agoThey were Nvidia failures due to a manufacturing defect. My 15” 2008 Nvidia 8600-equipped MBP was repaired out of warranty (for free) for this issue. All MacBook Pros from late 2007 to 2010 used Nvidia GPUs, not AMD. Search “nvidia 8600 fail” to read more.

- narism 1y agoThe MBPs didn’t run too hot, the Nvidia GPUs used an underfill that stopped providing structural support at a relatively normal temperature for GPUs (60-80 degrees C). GPU failures due to this also happened on Dell/HP/Sony laptops, some desktop models, as well as early models of the PS3.
