In other words, does the VDADecoder fully make use of the Intel HD 3000 GPU (the one in the Mac Mini 2.3GHz base model) _OR_ the AMD Radeon HD 6630M GPU (the 2.5GHz Mac Mini)?
I want to buy a Mac Mini solely for setting up XBMC and I want to know if I have to go for the Intel or AMD graphics. Or would the former model Mac Mini with Nvidia GPU a better bet?
To answer my own question partly: VDADecoder supports these GPU's:
- NVIDIA GeForce 9400M
- GeForce 320M
- GeForce GT 330M,
- AMD HD Radeon GFX
- Intel HD Graphics
That's all info I have, together with the fact that it's not available on all platforms or OSX versions.
