1440p, High settings, runs like butter.
Only when driving fast I can see little stuttering, might be even driver related.
COD:AW 1440p, High -> runs like butter (finished campaign with 0 issues)
I am severely impressed by the graphics performance of the riMac, I certainly did not expect such results.
When playing at 1440p on the Retina iMac's 5k screen, the image appears a little bit blurred because it is upscaling like that, correct?
Regarding Far Cry 4:
When playing at 1440p on the Retina iMac's 5k screen, the image appears a little bit blurred because it is upscaling like that, correct? No possible way it runs smoothly at 4k, right? I am playing in BootCamp on a nMP w/ D500s on a 4k screen, and the best I can do is 1440p as well. Looks good, and is super smooth, but the upscaling does look a little bad. At 4k, it barely even functions, so that's as high as it can go.
No. A 4k display will have 1.5^2, i.e. 2.5 pixels for 1. A 5k display has 2^2, i.e. 4.It looks absolutely perfect.
I think you might be having more issues as
4k is 3840 X 2160
5k is 5120 X 2880
1440p is 2,560 x 1,440
On a 5k display 1440p is 2:1 which effectively is 4 pixels per 1 pixel at 1440p resolution
On a 4k display, 1440p is 1.5:1 which I believe would be 3 pixels for 1
I would recommend you to play at 1080p on a 4k display for best results.
No. A 4k display will have 1.5^2, i.e. 2.5 pixels for 1. A 5k display has 2^2, i.e. 4.
5k has exactly 4 times the number of pixels than 1440p, and 4k has only 2.25 times that of 1440p. 5k has (almost) twice as many pixels than 4k.
That is why there should be no 'upscaling' artefacts going on, between 5k and 1440p, as there is exactly a 2x2 grid for each pixel. Not the same with 4k when there will be upscaling calcs going on.

I have had a Imac 2017 5K for a while and it's been pretty good I could do with something that isn't $4000 but it's worth it if you want everything a mac has plus 150+ fps when playing GTA V (I sometimes use my second ssd for windows). My top for FPS has been 200 for GTA and 400 when playing CS:GO. It has the Radeon Pro 560 and 8 gb of ram (im looking to upgrade but its still good) ALSO don't use safari unless you want IE like experience. And im able to play anything at max resGames are looking fine. Able to play the new CoD at 1440p with almost everything at max.

Actually, LCD screens don't have a refresh rate as they are constantly on.Play GTA V at 5120x2880 with 150+ FPS on an iMac? Sounds quite impossible to me especially the monitor itself is limited to 60Hz.

I would be upset if I didn't get at least 220fps in "basic games". Windows is a must for any type of gaming!
