They're suggesting an Nvidia GTX 970 for a good experience. I'd wager very few Macs have a GPU of that power right now. The big sellers are the 13-inch MacBook

The big sellers are the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the MacBooks Air, all of which run Intel integrated graphics. And iMacs have mobile GPUs. Besides the cylinder Mac Pros, and older Mac Pros with new cards shoved in them, the entire line is short on GPU punch.
- ptomato 11y agoI'm pretty sure GTX 970+ cuts out everything that's not a hackintosh, even the workstation cards in the current Mac Pro.
- wlll 11y agoI've run Elite: Dangerous on a top of the line Mac Pro (Windows 8.1 bootcamp), it's not great. That said, simpler games with a focus on gameplay instead of graphics work just fine, such as Windlands. I'd suspect Job Simulator would be similar.
- perardi 11y agoWell, if Apple would spend less time crafting delightful metal bracelets, they could pop in a Haswell CPU and a contemporary GPU into the current Mac Pro. (Sorry. Bitter, Hackintosh-using "power user" rant.)
