If you need a new Mac now, an upgraded 27-inch iMac or iMac Pro are the way to go. If you have the money for a Mac Pro, and aren’t in a rush, wait for the new Mac Pro. It has what it takes to run even the most demanding games. So, is the Mac Pro good for gaming? For the record, a Mac Pro is a capable gaming machine. With 80.7 FPS on average and a $2,999 price tag, an iMac is a cheaper and faster choice. In the meantime, the current Mac Pro is overpriced and not that fast. The iMac Pro was partially released to help Apple recover from that disaster and a new Mac Pro is coming… eventually. I won’t go into the whole story, but the Mac Pro was a failure and you should stay away from it too. The current Mac Pro was supposed to revolutionize desktop computing. That said, a new Mac Mini + eGPU is probably the best gaming setup one could get. Plus, you’ll also have to buy a monitor to use it (same goes for the Mac Pro).

You’ll be better off with an upgraded 27-inch iMac. So, is the iMac Pro good for gaming? Unless your job demands it, the iMac Pro is overkill.

What gives? Professional applications such as Final Cut are optimized to take full advantage of everything the iMac Pro has to offer but most games don’t. It costs twice as much as a 27-inch iMac with a Radeon Pro 580 and runs our test games at 125.5 FPS on average compared to 128.3 FPS on the Radeon Pro 580 iMac. But when it comes to gaming, it’s simply overkill. In fact, if you’re a professional in need of raw power for video or 3D graphics editing, this is probably the Mac for you. It goes without saying the iMac Pro is fast. That should make it an ideal gaming machine, right? The iMac Pro is the most powerful Mac available right now, surpassing even the infamous Mac Pro. Should they be completely discarded as decent gaming Macs? iMac Pro gaming
