iMac

Gitaz · 10-19-2015

Hi! I'm thinking of buying an iMac, but I also play a lot of League of Legends, yes I know, I know if you're going to game buy a PC, i've heard this before and things like that. So please no need to tell me that, but do you guys think this will be able to handle League of Legends max settings or close to it? at like 60 FPS constant?

specs:
21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display
3.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
8GB 1867MHz LPDDR3
1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200

-thanks

does LoL even have mac support?

It will hold up your computer do, meaning it can achieve 60 fps above.

It can run at 60 FPS on High settings, 1920x1080 resolution with that iGPU:

You won't really be playing anything at 4k...you can bump it down to 1080 and probably run it on high though.

Um I think that whatever you believe is wrong with Mac isn't..

First of all, the main reason why Mac isn't Good for gaming is because there are limited Mac Games. Also, Macs are kinda the coding noobs.

Mac can process fine. It can handle most of all the crap you're probably gonna do

Macs never really struck me as a proper gaming platform.

They're amazing for work since everything is pretty organized and you don't really need a whole lot of technical know-how to operate a Mac.

Hell, my elementary school would let us use Macs and we all had no idea how computers worked but we got by just fine.

They are a horrible gaming platform. And if all you care about is gaming you absolutely should not buy a Mac, and that has nothing to do with personal bias (the only technology i own is Apple). You're just going to have to do a lot of extra work arounds for gaming on a Mac, and are probably going to end up buying Windows to run on it anyway. I totally understand where anyone is coming from who wants to buy a Mac for gaming just because they are technologically illiterate and are more comfortable with a Mac; because that is totally me. But honestly Windows and an hour of research is a much better option.

If you are just going to play League though, those specs should be fine.

If you're planning on going all out, then go all out with the graphics card too. Get an iMac with some expensive Nvidia graphics card

I checked my iMac's graphics card will this work fine; AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR5 memory. I don't want my computer to have the black screen of death or white.
