I have recently updated my iMac to the newest version of OSX and was expecting to see a large jump in my FPS. I currently get around 30 FPS when staring at a wall. When there is lots of action it drops below 20 FPS. I have read on multiple places where people had over 100 fps. I have a 2009 21.5 iMac. Basic 2GB Ram and whatever the video card was nVidia. Is it my computer and I will never be able to get above 30FPS or do I just not have the appropriate settings? I find it hard to believe it is the computer, I use to run this on my old windows computer from 2001 and get similiar FPS. Can someone with a similiar setup help me out with what I should try my settings at to get better FPS? Thanks in advance.
 
This sounds very strange,i have a 2008 imac 20" with an radeon 2600pro, I guess you have the geforce 9400m, what I have understand the radeon should just be slightly better and I am maxing it out at (except AA an Vsync) 1680x1050 and getting 50 + in frames often around 60.
