So I'm reading about the new iMacs that have just been released, on my =
old iMac which is well over 4 years old... just wondering how the dinky =
little video cards that Apple usually slips in them will fare with CS 6? =
 I know that some of you have been doing all sorts of benchmarks and =
comparisons between the various discreet nVidea cards around, are you =
able to guess how the new iMacs will compare?

=46rom skimming the usual news sites, it looks like the base iMac comes =
with a GT 640M, with the option for a GT 650M.
The 27" models come with a GTX 660M, with the option for a GTX 675MX, or =
the highest spec of a GTX 680MX with 2GB video ram.

That's all Greek to me so just wondering if it makes more sense to =
anyone else?

I assume these are mobile parts and so I'm not expecting Quadro-like =
performance in a consumer desktop machine, but the price to performance =
comparison of a new iMac to a tricked out MacPro is usually very =
attractive.
