How good are these PCs for playing latest generation games at native resolution @ 60FPS?

Unfortunately, silicon Macs in general (including the latest generation iMac) are not the best for playing for the latest generation of games at high resolution

I was taking about the hardware on these iMac, is it as good as high end gaming rigs?

Are you kidding? Pricewise, the whole iMac is priced at the same level of an RTX3080, and we all know how Apple is pricing their stuff.

I am out of PC gaming for more than a decade. So I am unaware of the pricing part when it comes to playing games like Crysis, GTA5, BFBD2, Assassin Creed, NFCMW @ 4K resolution

Not even in the same league.

The iMac is a 60Hz display which will likely disqualify it in the eyes of many.

4k gaming in general is a lot more rare on PCs than you would think, and in general there are very few truly native 4k games on PC or consoles it’s just mostly upscale tech. Most people that are serious about PC gaming that I know are gaming at 1080-1440 in general, which I would guess the iMac would at least be adequate at. At the distance you would be sitting from the monitor when playing a game, I doubt you would even be able to tell the difference of if it were in 4k or 1440 for example.

I think really with mac and gaming we should take a wait and see approach, they appear to be getting more serious about it, and if by WWDC we don’t see any fruits from these efforts, I would just take what you can get. Me personally I use mine for emulators, baldurs gate, arcade, re, and soon death stranding which I’m fine with those (for now)
