[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1616604, member: 307555"] Okay, my Windows 7 video editor is running a nVIdia Geforce 770 with 4GB of memory. I run two 27" monitors on it. The specs on the computer include 24GB of memory and two quad core xeon processors on a tyan server board - which makes a difference. Does it play high graphic intense video games - oh yes. I say all that because a video card is only as good as what else is running the computer. As for mac graphic - it is hard to compare windows to mac. The way the two operating systems handle graphics is very different. Is the Intel Iris Graphics as fast as the nVidia 740? Not in head to head tests. As for the card you reference, we have no further specs on the 740 nVidia card. Who makes it determines quality and also the amount onboard memory which a manufacturer can change. IMO - If you are a gamer a mini is not for you. Most high end games are written for Windows. If you want to watch HD movies then a mini like you have listed will be fine. The Intel Iris graphics are designed for it. If this will be your first time to experience OS X be aware there will be a learning curve involved too. Lisa [/QUOTE]
