Deadhold, the reincarnation of Myth (Gaming)

My iMac is sick, and I'm looking to buy a new Macbook.

What's a decent gfx card these days?

Here's what Apple offers in their laptops.

Intel HD Graphics 5300

Intel HD Graphics 4000

Intel HD Graphics 6000

Intel HD Graphics 6100

They offer some higher-end options with NVIDIA cards, but I don't think I'll be springing for that.

If you want a gaming Mac, buy an old mac pro off of craigslist. 2010 or newer, and get a Radeon 7950 Mac edition card to put into it. That should be cheaper and better than a new macbook.

My 2008 Mac Pro got 60fps with V-Sync on in Bioshock Infinite running at ultra everything in 1920 x 1080. Of course I booted into windows for that though.
