Tigerdirect had a special until June 30 that took an immediate $30.00 off the regular price and offers a $10.00 rebate.  After conferring with my mother, she said go for it.

Thank you all again so very much for your input, suggestions, etc.  I pulled ideas/suggestions from where to purchase to PC component specifics from this thread and the other two I began.

Let the party begin!!!

Welcome to SL Heaven!

@Malanya - I love those umbrella drinks - putting in my order for a frozen Pina Colada. :matte-motes-big-grin:

@Perrie - It will be WONDERFUL to get out of PC purgatory.

*Note to self: When visiting Maddy, don't wear clothing with pockets.*

Amazing the great advice one gets on these forums. ;)

I recall seeing somewhere to beware of GPU benchmarks based on other games, something to do with DirectX. I guess my question really is, nonetheless are they a good guide as the RELATIVE power, for SL, of different GPU?

 

Also, are the Intel Iris GPUS in Mac notebooks as bad as other chips? I'm toying with the idea of going Mac for other reasons, but am nervous about using a MacBook (other than a fully loaded Pro which I likely can't afford ).

The only comprehensive GPU benchmark listings use the PassMark test, which is based on DirectX and runs on Windows. The PassMark tests for Android and iOS use OpenGL.

SecondLife runs on OpenGL, regardless of underlying OS. So, we are forced to use benchmarks that are not representative of our needs. The benchmarks are potentially doubly indirect for Mac users, as differences in OpenGL implementations on Win/Mac OS would not be revealed in DirectX/Win benchmarks.

But you must make the best of what you have, and that's the benchmark tables here...
