Some Mac Pro owners say Software Update is offering them the NVIDIA Graphics Update 2009 even though their computers are fitted with ATI graphics chips.You can see why they are confused.
But at least one user has confirmed that the update does indeed improve HD video playback on a unibody MacBook Pro that's set to use the (notionally higher performing) 9600M.
An Apple Discussions user going by 'Provid' reports getting a full 24 fps when playing a HD movie after installing the update, rather than the previous 17-22 fps.
