Hi, I guess this is outdated, but anyway: congrats for the christmas gift. I guess you are new to the mac world, because of the question of upgrading a retina. Thats why I tell you that your video card is quite strong, and will fulfill, I guess, most of your needs. I am since quite a while I guess a power user, with video editing, realtime image recognition and generation, programming directly for the GPU. I usually worked (due to mobility) with a double GPU MacBookPro, but nowadays I have a single card Lap. And it gives a lot, I have 3 screens on daily basis connected directly (HDMI and both thunderbolt ports), etc.
This why I think that, as normal user, you will hardly notice a difference between a double GPU and a single.
If you are a power gamer, then maybe you will start to search for something to control 3D on 4k, in that case I would recommend you to acquire an external video card and box = Thunderbolt PCIe Video box. But it is expensive, so test and consider if you really need it.
