Re-testing performance in BoinxTV, which is heavily based on QC, was
the first thing I did on my new MacBook Pro after updating to 10.5.6.
Sad enough I cannot see any improvement. Performance is still worse
than old ATI based MacBook Pros. In fact, it doesn't even make a big
difference whether you run on the 9400M or the 9600M GPU.
We also recently conducted some informal tests on a new Mac Pro with a
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 and found that Quartz Composer does not really
perform better than a previous Mac Pro model with an ATI Radeon HD
3870. The price difference between those GPUs is about $2,500.
The NVIDIA card is definitely a lot more capable, but Quartz Composer
does not seem to use its power on Leopard.

Anyone have any before/after performance tests with ATI and NVIDIA
cards?
