Why is Apple still using the OLD GeForce GT 750M graphics card in MacBook Pro (we are on the 9xx series now)?

Just curious why Apple is still going with the 7xx series cards in the MacBook Pro. I've been holding off buying one even though my wife wants one now because that graphics card is now old. The new 960m, 970m, and the mighty 980m are out now (and have been for some time) and are WAY better than the GT 750m.

Just seems strange that they would pair the latest greatest 5th gen Intel CPUs with a three generations old Nvidia graphics card. If they slapped a GT 960m in there I would buy NOW! 😝

No one representing Apple is on these forums and we are discouraged from discussing what Apple may or may not choose to do. Your guess is as good as anyone's. You might post your thoughts here:

By the Terms of Use in these forums, we are forbidden to speculate on new products, so check Apple gossip and news sites such as Appleinsider.com for rumors and speculation about future product announcements. Patience!
