What exactly what kind of graphics are you working with?
What applications are you using.
Are you working with video style graphics or still images and graphics?
If video are you working with 720p or 1080p video?
256 MBs of VRAM should be fine for doing regular still design type  graphics.
If you ard having issues, please tell us what they are.
It you have an older iMac, it maybe your CPU could be causing some issues.
It could be you are not using enough RAM memory to run the graphics applications you are using.
How full is your hard drive?
If your hard drive is getting full, this maybe causing your iMac to slow down.
Your issues maybe more than just GPU related.
What is the year, screen size, CPU speed and the amount of RAM installed into your iMac?

  • I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
    When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
    I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • I Am from Brasil and december last year i bought a non contract iphone in usa but it still locked, now apple is sending non contract unlocked iphone, next week i am going to usa and would like to know if it is possible to pay and unlock my iphone in usa

    A no-contract sales price does not mean unlocked.
    Apple is now selling an officially unlocked iPhone in the U.S. which has nothing whatsoever to do with AT&T unlocking iPhones. It is up to the carrier and the carrier only to officially unlock an iPhone that was sold as carrier locked with the carrier - in this case sold as carrier locked with AT&T. This may change one day, but at the present time AT&T does not unlock an iPhone for any reason or under any circumstances.

    Only the carrier can authorise unlocking. You need to contact them.

  • I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?

    I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?

    The iMac can back up to the Time Capsule, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to either iTunes on your Mac....or....to iCloud.
    If the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac, then when the iMac backs up the iOS backups are sent to the Time Capsule as well.  So, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
    The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.
    For more information on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

  • Have I an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it.

    I have an Ipod HiFi A1121 and I would like to know if it is possible to use my iphone 4 with it. Thanks.

    Hello,
    Yes, you can use your iPhone 4 with it, but I don't recommend using it with the dock connector as it wasn't designed for the iPhone 4 and you may have unexpected results.
    I recommend using it with the auxilliary jack on the back of the unit.  That's how I use mine and it works great to this very day.  The iPod-Hifi is still an amazing and great sounding unit and they're incredibly rare to find now of days.  I saw one on sale at Amazon.com for $999 haha!

  • I would like to know to what software i should upgrade i have a macbook 5,1 10.5.8

    i would like to know to what software i should upgrade i have a macbook 5,1 10.5.8

    Your MacBook5,1 will run the latest OS X version 10.8.5 "Mountain Lion".
    If it does not have at least 4 GB memory, upgrade it. Yours can address as much as 8 GB and Mountain Lion will be comfortable with that amount.
    You must purchase Snow Leopard on DVD first:
    Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Germany: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
    Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
    After you install Snow Leopard use Software Update to update it to its latest version, OS X 10.6.8.
    Then, you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed:  > About this Mac

  • I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export  in F4V or FLV format?

    I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X.  For example, can I export  in FLV format?  Where do I find the list, which gives me all the details about it?  Or is there only one output codec? Thanks

    That's an excellent analogy. While FCP cannot export FLV. It is possible to do a very simple substitution. If you export a QuickTime movie using the .mov suffix with the H.264 codec, you can change it to FLV simply by changing the suffix to .flv. This is an acceptable format for Flash movies on most web sites, if that's where you're trying to go.
