It will be interesting to see how the GeForce GTX 680MX in our CTO 27-inch 'late 2012' iMac compares to those 'alternative' GPUs.ģ. We are aware that many Mac Pro owners have even faster GPUs like the GeForce GTX 580 and 680 but that's another story. Both the iMac and MacBook Pro compete well with a Mac Pro 6-core running the optional Radeon HD 5870, the fastest gaming GPU that Apple currently sells. And though the MBP has twice the video memory, it wasn't an advantage - at least at the settings we used.Ģ. It was essentially a tie between the iMac and MacBook Pro - logical because they both have the same GeForce GT 650M. ( HIGHEST number equals the the best average FPS.)ġ. Steam Portal 2 - T he settings were 4X MSAA, 8X Anisotropic Filtering, Vertical Sync Disabled, Multicore Rendering Enabled, Shader Detail High, Effect Detail High, Model/Texture Detail High. ( HIGHEST number equals the the best average FPS.) Our test was a replay of an F4 Phantom jet taking off and making a 180 degree turn. Laminar Research X-Plane 10 - Run from Terminal app using this command line. SETTINGS include multisampling OFF, graphics_detail level ULTRA, shadows enabled, tessellation TRUE, dynamic_ambient_occ enabled, vehicles characterQuality="4." Resolution was 1344 by 756 for all Macs. ( HIGHEST number indicates the best average FPS.)įeral Interactive Dirt 2 - We ran the built-in benchmark where Travis Pastrana races seven copies of himself.
The Mac Pro, Mac mini, and rMBP were force to run at a slightly higher 1456 by 820. World of Warcraft - Mists of Pandaria - We did our "Narache Village Totem to Tree to Totem Run" which tests GPU performance and used the Titan Panel Performance Addon to compute average frames per second. RMBP 2.7 = 'mid 2012' (15") MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Quad-Core i7 with GeForce GT 650M GPU (1G VRAM), 27" LED backlit Thunderbolt display (2560x1440) Mini 2.6 = 'late 2012' Mac mini 2.6GHz Quad-Core i7 with Intel HD 4000 GPU (shares main memory), 27" LED backlit Thunderbolt display (2560x1440) MP 3.3 = 'mid 2010' Mac Pro 3.33GHz Hex-Core Westmere with Radeon HD 5870 GPU (1G VRAM), 27" LED Backlit Cinema display (2560x1440)
However, until our CTO iMac arrives, we decided to tantalize you with some game benchmarks using the best 2012 iMac available in the Apple Retail Store, the 2.9GHz 'late 2012' iMac with the GeForce GT 650M GPU. Game enthusiasts are excited about the adoption of the GeForce GTX 675MX and 680MX in the 27-inch 'late 2012' iMac.
