[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1589529, member: 38864"] Here's an article comparing performance for the GTX 680m to other mobile GPUs. This should give you a good basis for deciding if that GPU will suit your gaming needs. [url=http://www.notebookcheck.net/In-Review-Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-780M-GTX-770M-GTX-765M.93277.0.html]In Review: Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M, GTX 770M & GTX 765M - NotebookCheck.net Reviews[/url] Personally, I would avoid buying used. You'd save some money, but if you want to maximize its life as a gaming rig, get a new one with the best GPU you can because you will be stuck with what comes in it. It's worth mentioning that the iMac line is expected to be updated soon, likely in the fall with the release of the next version of OS X. I do agree with the advice to update the drivers in Boot Camp. The ones Apple provides are tweaked for maximum stability, not performance. [/QUOTE]
