Mid 2011 iMac and games

[Dr. McKay]

I've come across a rather good deal for a used mid 2011 27" iMac.
These are the specs :
http://www.everymac.com/systems/app...inch-aluminum-mid-2011-thunderbolt-specs.html

I now have a 24" early 2.8 C2D iMac with ATI Radeon HD 2600Pro graphics. It goes without saying that the Radeon HD 6770M in the 27" iMac thrashes my 2600. However, as this is a 27" iMac, I would be playing games at a much higer resolution (2560x1440 vs 1920x1200 on my current iMac).
So how good is it at native res ?

these images the kick playing Battlefield 3 on Windows 7 using Bootcamp
2560x1440 in High, Ultra settings (not recommended) supported not quite right, but if it supports 1080x1920 very well. No lags.

I've actually found that it kind a sucks as a gaming machine...

What games do you play?

I'm not much of a gamer anymore but do dabble in CSGO, CSS, HL2, TF2, Left for dead 2 and I can play at native using high settings...

I've got the 2011 3.4GHz i7, which runs games pretty decently. But can't speak for the slightly lower spec you're looking at. How much is it going for?
