I own a 2014 MBPr with the Nvidia chip and I'm thinking the AMD chip would be a big improvement. I see major visual artifacts whenever the GPU switches, it locks up frequently, and external monitors rarely work. Maybe a bad chip, actually, but it works fine in Windows.

There's an extended warranty repair program for video issues https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/

Unfortunately, even though my MBPr exhibits exactly those issues, it is a Late 2013 model so it doesn't qualify.
