Does the GeForce 9400M have enough juice to allow us to use the Accelerate 3D graphics setting and/or is this setting available on a 9400M based machine? I'm considering a new mini or one of the new iMacs and either would use the 9400M..
Thanks for any help.
It does, we support the new mac books which also run a 9400M. There were, admittedly, some problems with it (caused by a bug in OSX) for the Fusion 2.0 release but they've been fixed in 2.0.2. You might want to note that the 9400M is not the fastest chip in the world but it should be sufficient for casual purposes.
I have a Macbook with this graphics card in it, and have never had any real issues using it with "Accelerate 3D Graphics" enabled, and I push VMWare Fusion pretty hard.
