BEFORE you **** on me for gaming on a Mac, I KNOW THEY ARE TRASH, buuuuut while in the heat of summer my gaming pc gpu went out on me. So currently I'm in between two computers as a backup. I have an iMac I bought in early 17, and a MacBook pro o got for school in 2019. The MacBook pro has a 2.4 Ghz i5 intel processor, 16Gb 2133 MHz LPDDR3 memory, and 500 gb storage (not sure what HD they use). And my iMac has a 2.8 GHz i5 Intel processor, 8Gb of ddr3 memory, an Intel iris pro graphics 6200, and 287 Gb of storage (the reason it's 287 Gb is because I partitioned it a while ago because I needed windows to run some things). My MacBook pro has not been partitioned yet (mostly used it for school, which I am done with). Which is the best option to hold me over before I can rebuild my pc? ALSO MY BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE RUNNING SMITE AND RL THANKS IN ADVANCE GUYS.
 
Why not just try both ?are you running bootcamp or parallels ?
Smite should run on both with no issues. I would normally go for RAM but When you boot both which has the better graphics I am guessing the imac would win out. Pardon my ignorance what is RL ? Ralph Lauren ? or Rugby League ?
Here are the Smite System Requirements (Minimum)

  • CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz or Althon 64 X2 2.7 GHz
  • CPU SPEED: Info
  • RAM: 2 GB (XP), 3 GB (Vista, Win7)
  • OS: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista or Windows 7
  • VIDEO CARD: ATI or Nvidia graphics card with 512MB video ram or better and Shader Model 3.0+ support. (ATI Radeon 3870...

Rl stands for rocket league, thanks for your input. I've been running smite on my iMac fine, however rocket league feels like I'm playing it on a Playstation 2 to run with decent frames. So I'm debating if I should try partitioning my MacBook pro for better performance, or just waiting it out till I can get a new gpu
