Hecate Lionfire	Posted - 2011.06.11 11:51:00 - [1] Wondering if you have a 27inch iMac if you are able to run EvE on a single client at maximum settings in Incarna or the latest TQ build? Looking to buy the new iMac 27inch within the week!

Force-quit (cmd-opt-shift-esc) helps and restart EVE often works. Exactly the same here, on an iMac 27. I have to restart up to 6-7 times before I get past the black screen mentioned. (But luckily no freezes!) ATI RAdeon HD 4850 i7 2,8 GHz :3 /o\
Uoh	Posted - 2011.06.17 17:21:00 - [4] I have the brand new 2011 imac, it is a beast and runs EvE effortlessly!!

They only have the 1GB GPU 27" iMac model at the Apple store -- I need to know if I should order & wait for the 2GB GPU, or if 1 is enough...

I've got the 1GB 6970M and it runs two clients with high settings great. It gets hot so I use SMC fan control to crank up the fans, but it's not sitting in my lap and I got three years to try and break this thing. :D
AmarrettoDiAmarr	Posted - 2011.09.07 04:17:00 - [8] Originally by: Feyd Rautha Harkonnen I need to know if I should order & wait When I ordered one, It shipped a day or two after the order was placed. And you can get 2-day shipping. My iMac 27 came from Sacramento. But my last Macbook was custom built in China and still got to me within 6 days of ordering. I think I am always going to end up special ordering. Not only for the better Video card but for ram and HD. I was lazy and bought Apple RAM. However, I certainly think the small extra money to get the 2 TB disk is a no brainer. It's a few extra days on a machine you are going to have for 3 years and you get double the VRAM and double the disk. YMMV
