I'm looking at this Broadwell model: http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4888#ov At the moment, I don't mind not having X but I would like it eventually, is there any idea on when Iris Pro support would be done? If not for a while are discrete Nvidia cards such as the 760 ( Which another model has ) which I can find in http://www.gigabyte.com.au/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5156#ov stable? Last time I used X with a GTX680 it would crash twice a week. Cheers, Brendan.
