[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1589605, member: 38864"] I used to, but my gaming days are pretty much past me. Examples of games that I have played on this iMac are Starcraft 2; Diablo 3; Deus Ex: Human Revolution; Bioshock; and Borderlands. I can't max out all the settings on most of these, but all those are Mac-native versions and they play acceptably well. I've also played the first Mass Effect under Boot Camp without any issues. EDIT: As a side note... I used to build my own PCs with an emphasis on gaming. I'd do a full new build every couple years (or less!) with component upgrades in between. I've had this iMac since August 2010 and though I would "like" to upgrade to a newer, 27" model, I simply have no pressing need or desire to (though an SSD upgrade really helped a LOT!). If I was still into top tier gaming, I probably would have to be looking at an upgrade for today's most demanding ones. [/QUOTE]
