I wonder how D2 will run on the iMac Pro? (Off-Topic)

Time will tell. We'll see the Vega GPU's arrive on PC video cards later this summer (July/August?). I wouldn't expect the performance to meet the GTX 1080 Ti, but my understanding is that these will be pretty high-end GPUs (compared to what Apple normally puts in their iMacs). I wouldn't be surprised if Apple underclocks them for thermal reasons.

From early benchmarking of the Vega it looks like it's actually about on par with the 1080 Ti. It has better raw processing power per processor, but fewer processors. That's the base Vega at least, there are 4 versions of it. Of course, all that doesn't matter if it doesn't have the same optimization as Nvidia cards do for games.
