iMac 21.5" GT 650M Benchmark Underdog!

Currently debating on the 21.5 vs 27 iMac for CS6, Lightroom, and light gaming via bootcamp. Would really appreciate someone's input on the 650m's performance! WoW, BF3, and Diablo III are the titles I would play every now and then. Would like to know what settings these games are payable at on the 650m, (ultra, high, medium) in bootcamp.
What about the 640m? Everyone always leaves this one out
I just got this model and wonder if its worth it to try and game.
Because this is a thread specifically about the 650m and not the 640m...perhaps starting your own thread would be the way to go instead of trying to hijack this one?
Not bad, is that in bootcamp on windows?
Edit - nevermind obviously that's on bootcamp lol..
Do you have the ability to test WoW, CoD, or Diablo III?
Much like anything else, those who are unaware, say it incorrectly. They just think everyone else says it the same way they do. Usually when you hit a certain age, or get called out for saying it incorrectly, you realize that NO, not everyone says it that wayClearly the US usage is incorrect then if it doesn't make logical sense?
Is this single player or multiplayer? And which map?
----------
15" rmbp base model
In multiplayer I have to set everything to lowest settings for smooth gameplay.
The 21.5" is an effective gaming machine...I've been gaming with it since December. So far, I've beat Borderlands, Max Payne 3, and The Walking Dead! Playing Batman Arkham Asylum now and the game runs like butter on high settings with 1920 x 1080.
At 1920x1200 resolution, I can max out everything in SC2 except for shaders (one notch lower) and no AA with 50+ FPS.
That's good news! Do you have any other games you play? I'm assuming you're talking about the 21.5 iMac/650m at 1920x1080 (not 1920x1200).
Makes sense, I guess the retina MBP is comparable in performance. Would like to hear the results from people with the actual 21.5" 650m though. Seems so rare, this thread almost feels dead.
Halo
