Playing BF:BC2 multiplayer on my new 27" iMac i7 with ATI Radeon HD 5750

I decided to test out the graphics card on my 27 inch iMac to see how good it was and surprisingly, it is not bad at all. I was originally going to record this with Fraps, but I decided not to because it would decrease the frame rate. What you see here is pretty much the limit of what this computer can handle without a decrease in frame rate. But I am very happy with the performance.

Buy a mac... and use windows... x)

You can have a computer with a HD 6970 for this price, just fail. :/

@louinou

No, not a fail. 80% of the time I'm using Mac. The other 15% I'm using Windows on my Dell Laptop. 5% of the time I'll actually use Windows bootcamp and game.

@louinou Also Lou. Also keep in mind that that LED display on that iMac has a higher resolution that almost anything on the market and would cost you at least $1000 by itself. Yeah, huge "fail".

@louinou Fail? Hows that? If gaming is not your #1 reason for buying a computer and you prefer Macs then its the logical thing to do. I own both PC and Mac and find the Mac to be much better for my needs. The ONLY thing that I use Windows for is to play the occasional game. Thats it. So tell me how having a computer runs both OS's flawlessly is a "fail" as you put it. You people should think before you post.

@louinou in a way i can see your point, but more games companys will eventually release there big games for macs as well as pc. bootcamp is just a solution to this in the mean time ...

what mice you use for fps gaming?

[GatEntertainment]

@louinou he probably uses mac for everything but gaming and he can do it all

[BostonMacK]

I own the same computer. Installed Windows 7 via Bootcamp just for the sake of playing games. Gaming is the only reason I would ever use Windows. For everything else I'm on the Mac side. These 27" iMacs are incredible machines considering the display alone would cost you $1100. The most beautiful LED display on the market.

@Josh1901 No everything possible has been done and it just looks generic, it still shows generic pnp monitor, all drivers have been installed using apple cd driver disk.

[Josh1901]

@jshaw6000 you should have chosen 1920x1080 instead of 1920x1200 as it's the same aspect ratio as the screens native resolution, so the image wouldn't be stretched out :)

@ImprovedAtom install graphics card drivers
