Are new iMacs good enough for x-plane 11?

Question

Thinking of ordering the following config on iMacs announced today:

Kaby Lake 4.2 Ghz

32GB Ram

Radeon 580 with 8GB

27" 5K Display

Will it run x-plane 11?

Currently satisfied with the performance running x-plane 10 on 27" iMac late 2012 Ivy Bridge 3.2Ghz, 32 GB, Nividea GTX675MX

Answer 1

Hi,

yes it will be good. Always prefer Nvidia to Radeon though.. if you have a choice.

The GPU is the most important element. You can easily check benchmark websites, for example by typing "580 vs GTX675M benchmark" on Google.
