While this and other changes help to significantly reduce glare on these recent displays, it makes it much harder to service the 2012 and later iMacs.

The glass cover is adhered to the display, not held on by magnets like the aluminum iMacs released before 2012. The IPS screen gives the iMacs excellent viewing angles with no loss of contrast or color shifts as you move away from the center of the screen. The resolution of the widescreen displays remain at 1920 by 1080 on the 21.5-inch and 2560 by 1440 on the 27-inch iMac. The new iMacs do not include Thunderbolt 2 ports found in the latest Mac Pros and MacBook Pros or FireWire ports found in iMacs predating the late 2012 models.Īs with its predecessors, the new iMacs feature glossy screens with LED backlights and IPS panels.

The gaming is better on Windows anyway, There's a large performance gap between Windows and MacOS for gaming.These new iMacs have the same four USB 3.0 ports, dual Thunderbolt ports, SDXC card slot and gigabit Ethernet port as the late 2012 models. I could use the internal display just fine on Windows side. Lots of people have working setups but I chose to just install the card on the Windows side and leave MacOS alone. On the software side, running an nVidia card in MacOS is more problematic than running it in Windows bootcamp. I am running a Mantiz Venus with a 1080ti that is on the larger side size-wise, no issues. They all use the same internals for the most part, so you're not going to get better performance from one enclosure to the next really.Īs for GPU, different enclosures will have different size limitations but most of the popular enclosures will fit all the way up to a 1080ti or Vega 56. It's just a matter of picking one that fits your desired features, aesthetic, and budget. So any tb3 enclosure on the market right now should work for you. Hey man, in my experience just about any tb3 enclosure is backwards compatible with tb2, with some performance loss.
