7300GT any good for games over imac X1600XT?

Hi,
I have been waiting for the mac pro and have been using a standard 17" intel imac in the meantime. I have found it great for games like Quake 4, Doom 3 and Call of Duty 2 etc but now that the mac pros are out i intend to buy one. The thing i'd like to know is how will the 2ghz version with the standard 7300gt video card stack up aginst the imac with the standard x1600xt? The frame rates don't look that hot on apples web site but i just need it to play at least as good as the imac. I don't have the cash for any of the upgrade cards.
Ant thoughts welcome!

I would exactly say that the 7300GT is a slouch. Far from it. What you have to remember is that put up against cards like the ATI X1900 it looks shameful. The 7300GT is a good, cheap, middle performing display card.
Michael Schumacher's F1 Ferarri is a quick little beast. Thing is, put it up against Captain Kirk's Enterprise and it's shamefully slow.

24" iMac any good for games (compared to Mac Pro)

Hi,
I'm on my second Mac Pro and after no end of trouble so i'm hoping to exchange it for a 24" imac but i was wondering if it's any good for games?
I would probably configure it with the 7600gt and maybe the 2.33ghz proccessor.
My mac pro with the x1900xt ran Quake 4 and Doom3 etc at full stettings really well but i've just had to much trouble with it!

The iMac would be fine for games for now, but you are stuck with the configuration that you purchase as there is no way (for now) to upgrade the video card.
There is a thought that some OEMs might make an upgrade card, but as of now there are none.
The big advantage of the Mac Pro is that it has the PCI-express video card that you can remove the stock card from and add a newer, better card.

Comic Life? Any good for photos?

Found this on my iMac and I wondered if it's any good for making photo montages?
I use an online lab for photos so wondered if the files it creates would be good enough for uploading for poster prints (some up to 30"x20")?
Any users know?

No, Comic Life is only good for making comics, it can't make any montages. As of today I deleted it, seeing as I won't make any comics on it. Also, it can't make poster prints because of the way the printing would turn out (think a lot of colored dots with no real picture).
So in short, deleting it would not harm anything, nor hinder anything. Just save up some space.

Is Virus Barrier x6 any good for virus protection/

Is Virus barrier x6 any good for virus protection?

I have never used it personally. I have seen people here having kernel panics, and removing VB cured the problem. But then, that's not good data, because I don't know how many people might be using it with no problems, and why those kernel panics might be occurring.
To help you decide whether you want to use AV software, and how to protect yourself even if you do install AV software (which cannot guarantee protection), see my Mac Malware Guide.

Any recommendations for a good Bridge card game for the iMac? I understand that Bridge Baron products don't work so well on iMacs, and none of them are carried in the Apple Store.

Is iMac 5K good for games !?

Hello, I want to ask you is the new iMac good for video games. By video games I mean games with very good graphics like Far Cry 4, GTA 5, CoD AW, Dying Light and other like them or I should get a cheeper gaming pc? Please, answer me if you can.

The only way to play high games with high response times on an IMac is to get an IMac with high end specs and that'll make it a very expensive gaming machine.
You need to check the sites for the games you play for the nominal (average) hardware specs as well as the higher end hardware specs.
None of the 21 inch screen IMacs will hack it for high end gaming as their GPUs top out at 1 GB VRAM and the i7 CPUs are NOT the fastest available.
The only 5K retina iMac is the 27 inch screen model that starts at $2500 U.S.D. and the 27 inch screen models are the only models to get all of the bells and whistles needed like maybe a top of the line i7 CPU(for games the i7 CPU is really needed over the more common i5 CPUs), top of the line GPU (or see if you can get away with the base (2 GB VRAM GPUs) and faster 7200 RPM hard drives (the 21 inch screen iMacs only come now with laptop standard 5400 RPM hard drives, now) or faster/larger Fusion or SSD/Flash based drives.
You'll be close to the $3000 mark or more if you go with both the fastest CPU (4.0 Ghz) AND the 4 GB VRAM GPU.
If you are trying to compare an iMac gaming machine to a cheap PC for gaming, it sounds as if to me you do not have the budget for a $2500 IMac???
Even the non-retina 27 inch iMacs will set you back, at least $2000 U.S.D. for the higher spec'd. model.
If you are really considering the cheap PC route (which won't be as cheap as you think for a comparable PC with good gaming hardware specs), maybe just stick to your PC for gaming.
It seems to me that the budget is not there or realistic for a IMac with the specs you are going to need.
Good Luck!

IMac any good for gameing?

I've just returned my faulty Powermac G5 2.3GHZ Dual Core with the nvidia 6600 256mb graphics card and am thinking of replaceing it with a 20" iMac Core Duo with the 256mb Graphics card upgrade.
I currently have Quake 4 and Doom3 both of which ran ok on the G5, does anyone have any experiences of these and other games at reasonable quality settings etc?

I have bootcamp on an iMac and its awsome.
I have unreal tournament on both OSX and XP, on XP it is around 50% faster, don't believe the hype apples graphics handling for games is appalling compared to XP, simple fact when its there on the same computer. Open GL is broken compared to Direct X, even MacWorld admitted it.
I am currently running Oblivion on XP and it runs well (Although frankly I don't know what the fuss is about if I look at someone funny I am slammed in jail and its starting to get tiring!)

Are there any good strategy games only for macs?

If so what are their names and would you recommend them?
If not what strategy games would you recommend for an SR mac book with 4 GB of ram? And 2.2 GHz

Games in Mac, well, suck. It's disappointing, especially when developers do a 3rd-rate job of brining existing PC games over to X.
I have the same MacBook as you, napoleon. Here's the kicker - Your Intel X3100 video drivers are BETTER in Windows than it is in Leopard. Even the dock in Leopard is choppy. Makes me regret my MacBook purchase at times (though so many other positives!).
It saddening that you can't avoid Windows, especially when you only want to play a few games.
My suggestions for RTS games for Windows:
Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Age of Empires
(as said) C&C3, it's a fantastic game, and an amazing series. You can't go wrong with Command and Conquer.

Is Man mini any good for gaming?

Hi everyone !
I'm planning to buy a 2014 Mac mini (16gb, corei7). But i'm not sure if it's good for hardcore gaming (GTA V, Battlefield 4...) because of the graphics (Intel Iris Graphics). I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me if I can run good games without any problems.
