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?

From 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.
