Is getting an iMac to play CloD a stupid idea?

Too late. The iMac is in the mail.
I got the AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2GB VRAM. My hope is in the coming optimization patches. I agree that I probably have to turn down res.

I get conflicting results when surfing for benchmarks.
According to this test the 6970M can run all existing games on ultra settings with very acceptable avg fps...except Metro2033.
On the other hand when checking this one then the card is medium.

Oh well, if I can't run CloD on that iMac then atleast the wife will have a rocketship to surf and check mail on.

But I'm a positive guy!! We'll have the answer in a week.
