Mac Pro (6,1) for CS2?

Hey guys, I bought a mew baseline MM M4 unit.

I get my new 4k display tomorrow..and I’m then gonna try crossover to run CS2. Now, if it doesn’t run superbly, would a MP 6,1 with dual D500 run it ok?

I’m not looking for crazy fps, just decently playable..

or what about a OG iMac Pro? With the Vega 64 16gb?

Surely on that cs would run well?

Yeah, it’s mainly as windows sucks compared to Mac OS..and my spec of pc was ludicrous for 90% cs2.

We are talking gaming though

If you've got the hardware then give it a whirl but i really wouldn't be purchasing old Intel Mac's for this as it doesn't make any logical sense, especially if you're thinking of running wine-esq type software under MacOS to run Windows based games on what is essentially a PC (Intel Mac) - that's some gymnastics

yeah, I have gone down the route of a Mac mini M4 Pro as the performance seems very capable. so will see how it goes, I will be trying some gaming when my new speakers arrive, hopefully tomorrow.
