Looking to buy a new iMac and I don't do gaming at all on computer. But I do a lot of aperture (over 30,000 photos) and some video editing. I will get the i7, fusion drive and self upgrade the ram. Just wonder if the video card upgrade would benefit for me?
Got a tip for us?

Does 680mx only improve gaming?

It will have a benefit to anything graphically intensive. So Aperture will see a benefit as it's designed to use both CPU and GPU for the intensive tasks.
3D Rendering Speed improvement over the 675MX is about 10%.
If you don't game, you certainly don't need it.
You might not see even that much with Aperture.
If you use your iMac in a professional production environment it may be worth the extra money. Somethings, especially video rendering will go faster.
