Test for someone with m295x, need to compare my m290x

Generally, I cannot imagine that Apple would release a brand-new flagship product, risking a GPU-gate by selling a non-capable base version.

On the other hand, it is hard to believe that Apple is putting an OS on the market without testing the performance of standard UI features like preview or Mission Control.

So anybody ever thought about the possibility of this Mission control Lag being an intended bug to make people buy a higher spec'ed version of the riMac, just to be on the safe side?

Especially in the pre x-mas period (considering shipping time, you might want to order the new imac already today to make sure it arrives before christmas), this would be an additional boost in revenue.

In a couple of weeks, this will be fixed and nobody will ever again talk about it, so there would not even be a damage to the product reputation.

Problem is, my 2008 iMac with Yosemite runs fine; I'd say better than with Mavericks.

It was just some thinking-out-loud as lag issues seem to be a topic somehow.

If everything runs fine with your 2008 iMac, I wouldn't really consider it a problem... :)

Ok Guys, funny question:

Does the following page works smoothly on your iMac retina with base config (with Safari!)?
https://www.apple.com/de/imac-with-retina/

For me, its lag party 2000

I borrowed a MBP early 2011 from a friend of mine to make my final call if OS X is the right thing for me.

So on this quite old machine, I would not call this page 100% smooth, but it has no obvious lags like a one frame per second experience, just some hard to recognize "mini-lags" wenn scrolling down really fast.
 
Well, the question goes to iMac Retina owners, or have I understood you wrong?
