[QUOTE="Maverickman, post: 1090140, member: 167129"] I have read confirmed reports that the GPU in the new iMacs is a Mobility HD 5850 with 1GB GDDR 5 memory. It is anywhere from 5-15% faster than the Mobility HD 4850 depending on the game. The Mobility HD 5850 is comparable to a desktop HD 5750, so that's why Apple is calling it an HD 5750. I don't think it would really be worth upgrading from the HD 4850m to the HD 5850m. You'll gain DX 11 support and a few frames but that's it. In fact the new iMacs are just marginally faster than the late-2009 models. This is just an incremental upgrade and not a total refresh. [/QUOTE]
