ok i think the title says it all

on my 6 months old imac 27" , the graphic quality is like 5/10 at its best ...

hdr does not work at all , and makes the screens full of big color sqares ...
toggle window mode / full screen makes the 3D engine completely buggy
i dont have acces at the high quality shader in the graphic settings

and since inferno, new cool missiles animations just don' t appear at all , whatever settings i try ...

in fact , the overhall graphic quality is better on my 2 years old mac book pro 15" ... shame to ccp.

Goods news is its not your iMac, its the EVE OSX client...

Step 1: Install Parallels (or a windows BootCamp partition)
Step 2: Install EVE windows client
Step 3: Turn all graphics settings to high (except shaders), including 2560x1640 resolution
Step 4: Enjoy EVE at 60FPS under DirectX glory on your iMac...
