WoW on new i7 iMac's? Hows it run (Raids etc)

[USMC2Hard4U]

Everyone says wow is not such an intensive game, however I was playing on an i7 @ 4GHz and 2 GTX 285's in SLI and 25 Man raids got choppy sometimes. Settings Maxed, 8x AA etc...

How does the new iMac under OSX run it....

You might want to take a look at this: WoW Performance Guide For Macs.

I believe enabling shadows in WoW is what really bogs down a machine. So maybe if you backed off the shadows and set it to 2xAA you would have seen significantly better frame rate with the posted machine.

If you notice the settings on the performance guide for the i7 mac, he sets shadows to minimum.

The I5 imacs have a 4850 graphics card. You should be fine maxed out at native res but you wont be able to crank the aa all the way up.
