How does BF3 run for Imac?

Ive Seen alot of you guys already got the Imac 3.1 ghz etc... Im in that unfortunatly position to have bought the 2.7 GHz Imac 27'.
Yes I know, shame on me, but its still a mac! :D

My question here is how BF3 will run on my Imac? I really dont care if I run it on native res or not, so all suggestions to get a better performance would be appreciated.

My specs are.

AMD Radeon HD 6770M
VRam: 512
2.7 GHz
Processers: 1
Cuad core.
L2-buffer (pr core) 256
L3-buffer: 6 MB
Memory 4GB

Thanks guys. :)

you will be able to run it, but with no MSAA or anosotrpic filtering. also, becuase of VRAM limitations, you will probably have to play on low to get more then 30FPS. one has to realize that the imacs use a mobile GPU and so is not as powerfull as its "full" desktop variation(even if both are 6750, the "M" makes a big difference at as it downclocked, a lot!) so yea probably on low with mesh and trextures on medium, but dont expect anything higher, unless your OK with <30 FPS

cheers!
 
12.1

somebody else feeling that BF3 runs smoother in 12.1?
mine seems to run a lot smoother at native res: 1440x900
high settings, except for low shadows, 2xAA, HBAO
OC'ed to 775/975 @1.000v max GPU temp 88°C
