Only the $2300 model has an option of upgrading to 5700XT for an extra $500, and that's not even a high-end GPU.

- pat2man 6y ago90% of people don't need more than what's in the iMac. For pros who would use it the iMac Pro or Mac Pro are the obvious choices. For gamers Apple has been ignoring the market and everyone knows you are better off building your own rig.
- badsectoracula 6y ago5700 XT is a very high end GPU, especially the 16GB option (can you even buy a 5700 XT with16GB for PC? I can't find any in the local price aggregator, all of them are 8GB). It isn't the fastest GPU you can buy, but it is still a high end one. If anything, this is the first time i see an iMac which has a good GPU. Though considering iMac's form factor and my experience of having a PC with a 5700XT i wonder about thermals.
- kitsunesoba 6y agoYeah the 5700 XT is roughly on par with a 2070 Super, which isn't bad at all even if it isn't a 2080Ti.
- beervirus 6y agoIt's weird how restricted the choices are on SSDs too. The $1800 model is stuck at 256GB, the $2000 model lets you do 512/1TB/2TB, and the $2300 model adds options for 4TB/8TB. Like, this has to be a totally artificial restriction. I'd much rather buy the cheap one with a bigger SSD, but instead I'm stuck paying hundreds of dollars extra for features I don't care about.
