Could iMacpro be capable of 4k gaming @60fps with proper tweaked driver later?

[gerrard0804]

I will use it as game machine also. I think the vega 64 should be capable of playing some games at 4k 60fps with middle setting. But, the iMacPro will need a tweaked driver under bootcamp where AMD is officially not concerned about, so we are just waiting bootcampdriver for the news.

what say you guys? I really hope it could be an ideal all-in-one machine for video editing/multi-media/gaming.

Probably depends on the game. Encouraging results here:

The effect of better Windows drivers will be interesting, but at this stage I'm not sure there's much to add that these threads haven't covered.

To add onto the post I mentioned in the first link...

I think the potential is definitely there but the current drivers can definitely use work. I can get 60FPS in Dota 2 at 5k yet Overwatch barely makes it over 20FPS at 1080p. With 11 tflops, it should be able go put up a good fight against the 1080.

this, 5k no 60 FPS

4K or 5K?

I personally use 1440p since it's exactly half of 5K in both directions so it's a clean downscale.

A clean down scale not necessary better in gaming. In fact, it help to maintain all the jagged graphics as is.

You can indeed try to increase the resolution until you Mac can't maintain 60FPS. That usually looks better than 1440P with AA ON.
