New iMac gtx 780 (no m)

The iMac has a 780M. There is no way the iMAc would get a desktop GTX 780 in it - there is no room and no way to cool it.
Unfortunately since it is an "all in one" they have chosen to use all mobile graphics cards (I believe Dell copied that too in addition to the iMac's design).
If Apple came out with something in between iMac and Mac Pro that had regular GPUs, my other gamer friends would stop making fun of me and probably buy that Mac.

The GTX 780 has been available since the beginning of the summer. Wouldn't hurt you to do some research
And no, you are not getting it in an iMac, ever.----------
The iMac has still a faster GPU than 90% (possibly more) of all the 'gaming' computers our there - just look at the Steam hardware survey.
it would be nice to get a desktop card in the iMac,
However it definitely won't fit with the design. Soooo I'm happy as is

Just like how the 680MX is better than the 680M I suppose
Apple used the 680MX in the Ivy Bridge 27" iMac.

Right, it's obviously better, but why?
