NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GeForceBoost

The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M GeForceBoost is the combination of a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 9300M GS or 9200M GS graphics card and a 9100M G chipsetz graphics in SLI (GeForceBoost from Hybrid SLI) mode.

Do not mistake the combination with the Geforce 9400M chipset graphics card (e.g. found in the older MacBook models). However, the performance is similar to the 9400M G card.

It should be a little bit faster than a single 9300M GS and supports the dynamic switching between integrated and dedicated GPU.
