Still trying to sort out my computer situation. How would DiRT 2 perform on a 21.5" iMac 2.7 GHz i5? I'd like to run it at native res and at least have a bit of multisampling, but it would be nice to bump up some other settings.
The alternative is the 27" 3.1 GHz i5 with the 1 GB GPU - I have no doubt that it would perform well.
With 1920X1080 and 2X multisampling, and all else minimum, my 2008 15" MBP 2.4 GHz C2D got an FPS of around 13, and my 2011 13" MBP 2.7 GHz i7 with 8 GB RAM got 14-18 GHz. The latter is why I'm posting this - the graphics on my new 2011 MBP are no where near good enough!
