I just got a brand new iMac. I think I'm having an issue with the graphics card, or maybe the computer itself??
Before I continue, here are the specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo
3.06 GHz
4 GB of RAM
Bus Speed 1.07 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS
Now I figured this is a ton of power to run any game that's out for mac on full quality. I grabbed spore and it runs beautifully on the graphics settings maxed out, and it looks great. But when I went online and grabbed some game demos (age of empires 3, doom 3, Quake 4, call of duty 2) I couldn't run these games at full. They would always stutter here and there, and if anything got to busy on screen, it was a joke for a system this powerful. Plus these games are 3 to 5 years old, nothing this computer should have a problem with. Is this normal?
I'm new to mac. Any info would be much appreciated.
