Barefeats recently benchmarked the latest generation of iMacs with both version 1.0 and 1.1 of the iMac update from Apple.

We wanted to zero in on the difference between the ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro drivers found in the iMac Update 1.0 versus 1.1. We received email from readers hoping and praying that the latest update would make their 3D accelerated games go faster.
Prey, Quake 4 and World of Warcraft were used as benchmarks on both the 2.4 and 2.8GHz iMacs.

Follow the links below to see the shootout and download the official update from Apple.com.

Another win for the white iMac then :)

I'm actually TOO good at both TMFPPG and Fable:TLC.

Indeed, and although the previous generation 7600 is still the champ, at least there is wind that AMD is still working of improving the performance of the drivers further.

Did you read the article?  Performance with the update is actually slower than before.  Those are some great bug fixes they implemented :blink: .

That's "fixed" in the veterinary sense.
