Compared to my MBP's GeForce 8600m GT, I Feel that my HD 4670 is actually slower and worse than the nvidia. Is this true?? I Cant do a side by side comparison as my MBP wont load windows to do an actual FPS test/Stress test with latest drivers.

MBP resolution = 1440x900
iMac = 1920 x1080

If my maths doesn't suck that means the iMac has 60% more pixels and the 4670m with its lousy 256mb can barley keep up when it comes to games. The base iMac, macbook pro graphics are just there to get an image on the screen, maybe handle some light editing apps etc.

Moral of the story: Apple low end sucks for games, always get the top end, if you can't afford it get a windows 7 pc;)
