hey im getting the newest version of this, and my question is..is going to run bt3? or dead island? and most importatn will it run ELDER SCROLL 5 SKYRIM?
@commfg23 someone from macrumors said that their macbook pro ran bf3 at 40-55fps. thats definetly good news, hears the link: forums(dot)macrumors(dot)com/showthread(dot)php?t=1214782
@BlueMonkeyGuy yes a macbook pro may able to run with 40-55fps on bf3, but only if you tuned down the settings and resolution. the most high end macbook pro equips with the ati 6770m, which is not sufficient to run above 40fps at 1024x768 on low medium settings. btw what gpu has you imac got?
@commfg23 What are the specs? I don´t think you need more than a high end dual core or a lower end quad core, 4 gigs of ram, and a hd 5870 or gtx 470 to max it out on a single monitor...
Guys, every new Mac now ships with a program called Bootcamp. All you need is a valid copy of Windows. You simply run "Bootcamp Assistant" and it walks you through the process. It's super simple and only took me about 1 hour. I love having the quality and stability of the Mac as well as the ability to play PC games. All I use Windows for is to play games. Everything else is done of the Mac side. This 27" display is by far the nicest LED displays I have seen. Simply beautiful.

Wow. I mean, Crysis is a good game and all, but I didn't like it for one reason: I'm korean. Yeah sure, it's nice to kill some north koreans, but they shout proper korean words, and killing them just made me feel sad, a bit like killing your own men.
Everyones thinks that Mac computers are way to expensive, they just don't realize the quality of it, macs don't have a lot of viruses, pcs are filled with them, pc is ok but Mac has better quality
@delta0zero An Xbox has a lowered spec version of crysis 2. Maxing it on the XBox is equivalent to mediam on the PC. An XBox on has 10MB of video RAM, most computers have 512-1024MB. And for the record Crysis 2 for PC IS the hardest game for PC to run, which is saying something about xboxes.
i have a question i want this with i7 but it costs 2,718.95 for 8 gig ram (2x4gb) but 3,318.95 for 16 gig ram (4x4gb) which should i get? speed wise not money wise of coarse (im gonna get a mac in the net couple of months
@chickenpoper get all of your ram from different supplier like crucial.com, that's what i did. its the same stuff apple uses but way less expensive. if you're going to use high value applications that utilize more than 8gb then ok, but if it's just for gaming 8gb is more than enough, anything else, more than enough. cheers
@chickenpoper hopefully its not to late! for almost 4 fucking grand you can buy a PC thats got a better I7, 16gbs gbs of ramm and prolly quad sli or xfire, with water cooling and everything........... and windows 7 which blew anything mac out of the water. i guarentee you if you got a pc with the stuff i mentioned would prolly run under 2500 and would be 10x faster.
thx a lot for uploading this video, I want this imac a lot and I was very curious about how this beast could run crysis. You're the first I find showing crysis with these specs.
hi, how do you boot so quickly from mac os to windows 7? i know your computer is faster than my MBP 13, but when i do it, i have to restart the computer
@BlueMonkeyGuy how did you manage to get windows 7 to run at that resolution? because I have windows 7 on my 27 ich imac with the ati 5750 and I can only have a resoluton of 1440x1990 which is weak hd, I really need your advice because I just don't no what to do anymore, the fact that I can run windows 7 via bootcamp is great but its max res is less than hd and I cant have it any higher, so your my only hope to tell me how I can get windows 7 to the resolutuon of what your running it at.
Hey BlueMonkey, awesome vid! I just have two questions, 1. When you bought your mac, did you go for 2x4GB Ram or 4x2GB? 2. What resolution are you playing at in this demo?
@kikochas i tried both keyboard/mouse(this video) and xbox controller for windows but the keyboard/mouse flowed much more. keyboard/mouse is for pc originally :D
So I'm new to the whole "Mac OS" thing. Well, not even new, just looking into it. And with the Windows OS on the iMac, can you play windows only games? Such as newer games that have just released that don't have a Mac OS counterpart?
@Khaosreign if you boot up windows seperately from mac osx, then its like having another computer with windows with all of its features including, yes, the ability to play windows games that dont yet have a mac counterpart.
@AzizSmh the main aspect of the switching is bootcamp, which takes about 45 seconds to complete from mac shutdown to windows login. it was so fast in the video because i had to cut out all of the unnecessary parts because i was running over the video time limit.
@minisofwar it depends, if you got the i5 before august it is less stronger than the i5 after august and definitley less stronger than this i7. but you could handle games at lesser resolutions and be fine. plus the extra 4gb helps a lot.
@xXdavidroeck1996Xx i bought the imac for design production but also as a gamer, i was like why not install win 7 and play pc games on this powerful mac.
@epizowningyou i know, i went to the apple store and look at their stuff. and im just Jaw Dropped. just look at the quility of the build. and their os is so simple and now they even have app store. sure it expensive but u paying for the quility and reliability with a great service. i will be getting my new mac soon.
@SummerWizz1 thats awesome you'll love the new imac 27inch.my quick minireview on the imac dynamic:
it is totally silent, but thats bcuz the fans are running slow, so it gets a little hot (osx). i got a program that increases the fan speed and i dont mind the small ambient noise. but when runnning win7 it gets hot and on auto it should raise the speed to be safe, but when playing cpu intensive crysis i set the speed to high so that my cpu is cooling down and im playing my game smoothly.
@SummerWizz1 btw, if you're going to play games on either osx or windows, i recommend getting 8gb ram. dont try to get the default 4gb and then try to find an additional 4gb from crucial or another source for a cheaper price. i did that and it was a shit process for me and my imac would crash alot when on the win 7 side. just buy 8gb from apple and you'll be set for gaming or other ram hungry processes. my main reason why i got 4gb more was for video editing.
@BlueMonkeyGuy oh i was going to play some crysis on it and i was going to buy like 16gb of ram from amazon or something, apples ram options are such a scam but i guess performance comes before price :(
@SummerWizz1 8gb is the easiest and very sufficient for crysis. remember you're going to shell out alot of money for the 16gb because imac has four ram slots, so max ram is 16gb, but in 4gb sections (very expensive), or you can do what i did 8gb (4 x 2gb sections) but then again who am i to tell you what your money is worth ;)
@BlueMonkeyGuy ill just go with the 8gb and if its to slow ill swap it for 16 XD i hate apples prices though, its like there selling a comp made from gold.
crysis is set only to use 256 mb of ram (what they were thinking of?) you can change it to the right amount of ram your gpu has and you will win up to 20 fps. that's what i did and i was amazed by the performance i got. just try it.
@BlueMonkeyGuy Create an autoexec.cfg file and paste in the following: con_restricted=0
sys_budget_videomem = 1024 (your right amount of gpu ram)
r_TexturesStreaming=0
To make a cfg file just open an notepad document and rename it autoexec.cfg and then save it and paste it in your crysis main folder. It worked great for me.
@63Jax your not able to set the dedicated amout of ram. only if you have a onboard gpu wich uses shared memory, you can configure it to use some additional RAM. for example 256MB VRAM + 1024MB RAM = 1.2GB of videomemory, but you have less 'normal' ram available
@FedoraFTW thats one thing apple didn't think about when designing the imac, they place a high end laptop gpu in a desktop that needs more power like whatever your set up is.
@BlueMonkeyGuy yeah, i would never buy a mac. im a PC gamer and i build computers so that hands on experience is not there. also they put low end GPUS when you just paid well over a grand for a computer.

It actually worths the price.

xXdavidroeck1996Xx 1 year ago
@xXdavidroeck1996Xx Its expensive. But it has a built in 27" 16:9 LED display (2560 - 1440) and apple LED screens are beautiful.

whats the buzzing noise? comp or cam?
SummerWizz1 1 year ago
@SummerWizz1 that would be the cam, canon 7d is notorious for in mic video noise.
BlueMonkeyGuy 1 year ago
@BlueMonkeyGuy ah ok, is the imac silent? i was thinking of getting this exact same model but with 4gb
SummerWizz1 1 year ago
@SummerWizz1 thats awesome you'll love the new imac 27inch.my quick minireview on the imac dynamic:
it is totally silent, but thats bcuz the fans are running slow, so it gets a little hot (osx). i got a program that increases the fan speed and i dont mind the small ambient noise. but when runnning win7 it gets hot and on auto it should raise the speed to be safe, but when playing cpu intensive crysis i set the speed to high so that my cpu is cooling down and im playing my game smoothly.
BlueMonkeyGuy 1 year ago
@SummerWizz1 btw, if you're going to play games on either osx or windows, i recommend getting 8gb ram. dont try to get the default 4gb and then try to find an additional 4gb from crucial or another source for a cheaper price. i did that and it was a shit process for me and my imac would crash alot when on the win 7 side. just buy 8gb from apple and you'll be set for gaming or other ram hungry processes. my main reason why i got 4gb more was for video editing.
BlueMonkeyGuy 1 year ago
@BlueMonkeyGuy oh i was going to play some crysis on it and i was going to buy like 16gb of ram from amazon or something, apples ram options are such a scam but i guess performance comes before price :(
SummerWizz1 1 year ago
@SummerWizz1 8gb is the easiest and very sufficient for crysis. remember you're going to shell out alot of money for the 16gb because imac has four ram slots, so max ram is 16gb, but in 4gb sections (very expensive), or you can do what i did 8gb (4 x 2gb sections) but then again who am i to tell you what your money is worth ;)
BlueMonkeyGuy 1 year ago
@BlueMonkeyGuy ill just go with the 8gb and if its to slow ill swap it for 16 XD i hate apples prices though, its like there selling a comp made from gold.
SummerWizz1 1 year ago
@SummerWizz1 to me and hopefully to you, i love my 27 inch gold comp XD

@SummerWizz1 Buy the memories from a third part dealer then. NEVER from Apple themselves. That's a massive loss of money.

Did u stop the recording of the video while windows seven was loading and later edited the video, right? ...that was to fast opening the OS.

crysis is set only to use 256 mb of ram (what they were thinking of?) you can change it to the right amount of ram your gpu has and you will win up to 20 fps. that's what i did and i was amazed by the performance i got. just try it.
63Jax 1 year ago
@63Jax my gpu has a 1gb of GDDR5 ram. how do you set the ram amount? thats very interesting
BlueMonkeyGuy 1 year ago
@BlueMonkeyGuy Create an autoexec.cfg file and paste in the following: con_restricted=0
sys_budget_videomem = 1024 (your right amount of gpu ram)
r_TexturesStreaming=0
To make a cfg file just open an notepad document and rename it autoexec.cfg and then save it and paste it in your crysis main folder. It worked great for me.
63Jax 1 year ago
@63Jax your not able to set the dedicated amout of ram. only if you have a onboard gpu wich uses shared memory, you can configure it to use some additional RAM. for example 256MB VRAM + 1024MB RAM = 1.2GB of videomemory, but you have less 'normal' ram available

@bascompany14 just google it and you'll see that it works it also worked with my 5830. i gained 15 fps and i am not the only one.

try maxed it out at your resolution and with AA and AF. 100 bucks it's under 20 FPS.
lol
FedoraFTW 1 year ago
@FedoraFTW you're right, i've noticed the fps to decrease a lot to around 15-25fps at 8xAA so i lowered it. i dont need that much AA
BlueMonkeyGuy 1 year ago
@BlueMonkeyGuy yeah overclockerclub OCed a 5750 and got an average of 8 FPS with everything completely maxed out and just 4x AA
5750 is a low end gaming card.
you should try metro 2033 in DX11 maxed out. i bet it will also get like 10 FPS
FedoraFTW 1 year ago
@FedoraFTW thats one thing apple didn't think about when designing the imac, they place a high end laptop gpu in a desktop that needs more power like whatever your set up is.
BlueMonkeyGuy 1 year ago
@BlueMonkeyGuy yeah, i would never buy a mac. im a PC gamer and i build computers so that hands on experience is not there. also they put low end GPUS when you just paid well over a grand for a computer.
