Would an i5 Quad Core (2.7GHz-3.3GHz) and an Intel Iris Pro 6200 Graphics be able to run GTA V smoothly? Just asking. (It's an iMac)
 
Solution
To do any "real" gaming, you generally want a discrete graphics card - a graphics card that is separate from the CPU, with its own GPU chip and memory. The iMac you're using has "integrated" graphics, meaning there is a portion of the CPU dedicated to graphics, which uses a portion of the system RAM for graphics memory. This is common in PC's (by which I mean computers) with space limitations, such as laptops or "all-in-one" PC's like the iMac.

So basically, the question is, which AAA titles are the least demanding graphically. (Not nessessarily least demanding overall, since you have a very capable CPU, and I assume lots of RAM) CounterStrike and LeagueOfLegends come to mind, and older games.

So what sort of games would it be able to run? (Good FPS, shooters etc etc)
so basically what AAA games can it run?
