new imac G5 and WoW

[KSB]

hey peeps

anyone tried running World of Warcraft on the net iMac's? they have improved graphics now and even a PCI-express slot :)

your welcome to post your stats :D

I doubt it'll run all that much better than the previous generation of iMacs (Rev B)

... i dont think anyone has it yet

It should run extremely well...

[Phatpat]

I'll chime in with another mildly useless comment. I imagine it will run well. I play it on my first-gen g5 iMac, and it looks solid.

Being "PCI-express" won't really make a difference, but a faster cpu and graphics chip will.

I heard the new GPU was roughly 50% faster. Can anyone confirm this? That seems a little on the high side to me but I certainly wouldn't complain if it was the case.

Seems to be a bit much. But if that is the case, then it is probably due to the GPU (Radeon X600 pro/XT v. Radeon 9600), not the interface (PCI-Express v. AGP 8x).

I'm also dying to see some benchmarks and internal pics. :-)

i have one and tested it with battlefield 1942 and call of duty. they run great but it still can get laggy very sparingly with the settings completely maxed out. i dont have enough experience with rating games because my best video card before this was a 16mb ATI Rage

does WoW support the widescreens of the iMac or does it have black vertical bars on both sides?

[combatcolin]

WOW is probably the most wodescreen friendly game there is.

Which is why i spent £690 on a Dell 24".

And, yes, it does look the dogs rude bits.
