Going from 15 inch 2010 MBP to 15" 2012 MBP

-

hey all! wondering if worth it. when it's said , done, i'm thinking $400-$500 or upgrade

cpu 2-3x faster 2010 according geek bench.
650m gpu 3x faster.. ~1100 vs. ~300 330m gt. value still 1/3 of gtx 660 mid end card.
- usb 3.0, bt 4.0 , jazz
- 16gb ram limit vs. 8 gb

im not fan of rmbps because pretty glued , work dual 25" displays attached macbook anyways. plus upgrade later on. ssd nice i've been using ssds on 1 anyways not mention kinda ssd + 1 tb hd setup.

im finding current 1 lags every often. it's not end of world but...even light gaming (diablo3) kinda pitiful @ 1080p. worth it? or should go rmbp in year or two.
has done similar? how improvement there? appreciated. thanks!!
 

i upgraded mid 2010 mbp late 2013 rmbp. did because graphics card failing , ran out of warranty. otherwise, i'd kept it. faster, lot. fact can throw @ , it'll run @ speed. faster 2008 mac pro 8 cores.
