Just played on 1440 for 4 hours straight on low setting. Frame rate stayed 50-60 fps the whole time and dipped down to 40 a couple times due to the game having issues not so much the computer. But no failures or freezes. Just tons of good looking fun.
I had a m380 and I didn't feel it was enough for webgl. I returned it and got my self a m395x. I strongly recommend a m395. The 5k resolution is very demanding.
The two requests are the age old trade offs in gaming. Framerate vs resolution. The higher your resolution, the lower framerates go. To make it as simple as possible, you're going to want the 395x if you want to play fallout 4 and not be unhappy, it's as simple as that. the 395 (not the x) is going to be about 5-10 percent worse with framerates so honestly since you're spending 2500 dollars anyway, an extra 250 isn't that big of a deal. You can opt for the regular 395 though and be fine, just making my suggestion (that's what I did too as you can see haha)
I'm probably not going to play it in 5k. Rather just do 1080p or even less and be satisfied (I'm used to playing with a subpar resolution lol).
As a uni student; yeah, those $250 matters. I would've preferably gone with a 21.5" but Apple went and gave them **** GPUs, so I'm already spending way more getting a 27" than I initially hoped.
So now that you've had more time with it, have you done any more tests at different resolutions and qualities? If you set it to 1080 and high settings, what kinda framerates are you getting? And if you are on 1440, how high can you have the settings before you start dropping below 30fps? I'm still really on the edge on if I want to get this for ps4 or for pc, sitting on the couch would be more convenient but if I can get a better looking game on here, I'll do it. Thanks for being a tester!
I actually just bought it for ps4 as well so I can take it on the go instead of hauling my imac around. But I havnt got a chance to play on the imac since this 1440. I really like how it plays on the ps4 too. I would still say my low res 1440 and 1080 look better than ps4.So now that you've had more time with it, have you done any more tests at different resolutions and qualities?

Alright I got on my iMac fallout and set it at 1080p at high preset. After 1 hour of play the lowest fps i saw was 39 and I would say average of 49 over the hour. Which is just awesome. Next I'll try ultra at 1080 and see how she runs. But I love the results of high on 1080.
Yeah the iMac isn't a great gaming platform, but I am surprised how well it's going great so far. It feels and looks 100% better than my ps4 version. I want to see how battlefront plays in a couple weeks.
