Which games would justify the 680MX?

If you're planning on using high resolutions and detail, then any game that isn't ancient would justify it.

I would say that Crysis would be a good game to max out with this card. I had to pull custom settings for good framerates with my 2008 MBP so I'm not sure I'm prepared to see what I can do with the 2012 iMac.

Aside from not knowing the price for the upgrade to a 680MX, I'm still on the fence about getting one. I don't have any use for that GPU other than gaming and I haven't played PC games in a couple of years, with the exception of diablo 3.

My question is, which exclusive games are there or will be released for PC in the near future, that I couldn't play on my Xbox 360 or Playstation 3?

If you want to play on native 1440p, almost every game will benefit from 680mx.

Crysis is a really old game now. Even Intel HD 4000 will get 50 fps on medium resolutions...

What is a 1440p screen? and why now everybody threats resolutions by using only height data and adding a "p" on the end?!

I'm excited that the 680mx will handle modern games. I've gotta find some gems to try out when she finally arrives! Saw a commercial for Assassin's Creed 3, and that looks like it might be one to try. Windows only AFAIK, but I planned on doing bootcamp anyway.

Its just a convention. Resolutions are standardised, so the width is inferable from the height. E.g. 1200 or 1080 pixels height both indicate 1920 pixels width.

The p actually stands for 'progressive scan', but recently years people often use it simply to denote the resolution heigh.

All of them!

Any recent game that you want to play and native panel resolution (2560x1440) will really benefit from the 680mx.
