It's Benchmark Time for iMac owners ! *Updated with results*

[kylepro88]

I know this thread is for iMac benchmarks but for those that want to compare the above posters maxed out 2012 iMac, here were my results.

2:58 seconds
80.97 fps

That's on a 2009 Mac Pro, 2.93Ghz, 26GB RAM, ATI 5870 with normal 7200rpm HD's inside.

We're only talking a 14.2% difference between my "Pro" machine and the above posters maxed out iMac.

Sorta answers my question regarding dumping this MP or not. I think I'll keep it since it looks like the machines are almost identical. Next generation will probably match up to this machine though or possibly surpass. Time will tell...

Not sure how to figure out the encode time, it ran a little over three minutes.

so, I replacing a 2011 27" i5 2.7Ghz machine with either the 2012 27" i5 2.9GHz or i7 3.4GHz

Someone posted the 2012 i7 3.4GHz results, but can someone post the 2012 i5 2.9Ghz results?

2012 27" i5 2.9GHz = ???
2012 27" i7 3.4GHz = 3:35 minutes
2011 27" i7 3.4 GHz = 3:48 minutes
2011 27" i5 2.7GHz = 5:48 minutes
