iMac 27" i7 2,8 GHz Radeon 4850

Our gaming tests of the Core i7 and Core i5 iMacs (which, other than the processor, have identical specifications) returned largely identical results that blow away other all-in-one PCs. For instance: 134, 112, and 72 frames per second in our Unreal Tournament 3 tests (run at 1024 by 768, 1680 by 1050, and 1920 by 1200; high-quality settings turned on).

iMac 27" C2D 3,06 GHz

The ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics were capable of 43fps in the game Crysis at 1,280 x 1,024 and medium settings; in all-in-one terms not that bad, but you won't get anywhere near the native resolution with modern games.

iMac 27" C2D 3,06 GHz

6,840 poäng i 3DMark 06, 7.516 i PCMark 05 punkter, ett genomsnitt på 62,9 bilder per sekund i Resident Evil 5 riktmärke (1280 x 720 pixlar, hög detalj, utan AA, 4x AF) och 108,7 bilder på Street Fighter IV (1.280 x 720 pixlar, hög detalj) talar för sig själva.

Mac Life recenserar:

iMac 27" Radeon 4670 & 21" GF 9400M

The smaller iMac handled our InDesign-to-PDF export test in 4.2 seconds, while the larger model shaved that down to 3.6 seconds. And there was only a statistically insignificant tenth of a second difference in our Photoshop tests. In our Call of Duty 4 benchmark on the other hand, the ATI Radeon-equipped model pumped out an impressive 62.8 frames per second. By contrast, the more modest Nvidia chip averaged 36.1 FPS in the 21.5-inch model.

iMac 27" i5

The Core i5 along with the Radeon HD 4850 (actually a Mobility Radeon part) results in an iMac that can actually participate in reasonably high-end gaming. Titles like Heroes of Newerth and Left 4 Dead still have a modern level of detail but can run at the system's full 2560x1440 resolution, above 30 frames per second, without having to significantly lower settings outside of antialiasing. Other games like Crysis have to run at lower resolutions like 1600x900 but can still run with all but extreme details left turned on.
