Upgrade 2009 27" iMac's Graphics Card?

Hello All
I have read many confusing posts about upgrading graphics cards in iMacs but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer yet as to whether i can do this.
I have a Late 2009 27-inch iMac (model iMac10,1) with ATI Radeon HD 4670 256mb graphics.
I just need to know if it is possible before I buy a card and begin the tedious process of taking the computer apart, and which cards will work and are available for purchase.
Any help would be appreciated,
xeni

The processor is integral with and soldered to the logic board. It cannot be changed. You would ahve to get aq new logic boarda nd that is a significant portion of the cost of new uprated iMac with the specs you want.
The word is that Apple will only replace a defective GPU card with the same type and capacity, so I doubt they will help. Also the iMac does not use the common GPU cards as used in tower computers. It is a proprietary format with a crazy heat sink system:

  • Upgrade Mid 2011 iMac 27'' Graphics Card?

    Hello all, and thanks in advance. I have a mid 2011 iMac 27'' and for work, I do a lot of film and effects editing. I have currently ordered more RAM but my newly updated programs require an Nvidia card with CUDA drivers for rendering. Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in my mid 2011 iMac to a newer, faster card?

    Thanks for the quick response. I understand they are part of the logic board, and it appears that they weren't designed to be easily accessible, but is it even possible? With some risky work, could it be possible to place a new card in? Or is it designed so other cards won't even fit?

  • How to upgrade my Macbook Pro's Graphic Card?

    I have a Early 2012 13 inch Macbook Pro and it's ***** when I play games.
    Here are the specs:
    - 2.8 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7
    - 6 GB RAM
    - Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    - OSX Mavericks 10.9.2
    - 750 GB HDD 1333 MHz DDR3
    It lags a lot when I play such an old games such as GTA Vice City (the FPS drops a lot when my mac getting hot) or GTA San Andreas (quite stable). Both of them aren't modded and still original. Is there any way to upgrade my Macbook Pro's graphic card?

    You cannot upgrade the Graphics card on a laptop because everything is built into the logic board. Unfortunately your perticular graphics chip is actually built into the CPU, and is a very low performing chip which would definately make gaming hard.
    Sorry for the bad news.

  • The iMac 2011 graphics card is now separated from the motherboard?

    The iMac 2011 graphics card is now separated from the motherboard?

    Hi,
    Edit: Sorry on the new models you can remove the graphics card if thats what you mean , without changing the whole logic board, this is the same as older iMac models though, this is not new.

  • How can I recover files from an iMac 2009 with a broken graphic card.

    My old iMac has a broken graphics card. Instead of getting it replaced or fixed I needed a computer quickly. I decided to get a MacPro. I'm able to boot up the old iMac and my MacPro can now read the files in the iMac. I have been transferring files from the old iMac to the MacPro via ethernet connection as the USB to USB was running slow. Is there a faster way to transfer the files between the two?
    Is there a way I can delete the files on the iMac when I'm done transferring the files I wanna keep? Right now it won't let me delete anything from the iMac hard drive especially the locked Files.
    Is there a way I can connect another monitor to the iMac if it has a broken graphics card? I'm assuming it's the graphics card cause I researched it on youtube and my iMac has the same screen they're describing when you have a graphics card issue.
    Thanks.

    What is the iMac model? Does it have Thunderbolt? Do you have Firewire? Can you connect them via any combination of Firewire & Thunderbolt?
    Thunderbolt & Firewire support something called 'target disk mode'
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    OS X Mountain Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
    That will allow you to see the iMac as an 'external hard disk'. They are the fastest way to access the full disk.
    At the moment it sounds like you are using file sharing over ethernet - this is not the way to access everything on the iMac's disk & will result in you failing to copy data that you don't have read permission.
    You can also erase the iMacs HD over target disk mode if you really want to remove the OS & data.
    I don't believe it is possible to connect up two Macs via USB to USB so please clarify what you used. You may have been doing the right thing before you switched to ethernet.
    EDIT:
    Nevermind about the model, 2009 iMacs didn't have Thunderbolt so you will need to use Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt.  

  • My next iMac-- which graphics card; which display size?

    Hi all,
    I'd like some advice in choosing my next iMac, specifically regarding the graphics card and the display size.
    Graphics Card:
    I'm not a gamer nor am I doing any 3D animation. Is there any other reason to upgrade the graphics card? I DO want the best possible video playback (QT movies), but I don't know if the graphics card has any bearing on video playback quality.
    Display size:
    Aside from the obvious differences in resolution, do any of the three displays sizes (17,20,24) have any history of being better or more reliable?
    Thanks in advance for any tips

    Your needs will better dictate which model is best.
    Video playback of QuickTine movies will not be affected by upgrading to the 24" with the nVidia chip.
    No 3D gaming or animation means no need for a higher end graphics card. In my case, the x1600 ATi in the original Core Duo 20" is more than sufficient for everything I've thrown at it so far including full resolution "Call of Duty".
    For your use, you may not need the extra VRAM but I personally would bump it up to 256MB though. Adding an external monitor will split the total VRAM between the two monitors and with Apple continually moving a lot of Mac OS X's graphical features to the GPU, the extra memory may be a blessing.
    Display Size:
    I believe that reliability between the three models is pretty much the same.
    The advantage to the 24" is, of course, the extra screen real estate and resolution. However The price difference between the 20" and 24" could allow you to go with the 20" model and add an external LCD for a dual screen setup (if space permits).
    Weigh your needs - now and the immediate future - and then look at both models in person if possible.

  • IMac 20" graphic card

    Hi
    I bought an iMac 20" just this summer (about 1 month before the new ones...). When I bought it I noticed that the graphic card might be a bottle neck in the system (cant remember the name for it). Is this a correct observation?
    I am therefore evaluating to upgrade the graphic card as much as possible really.
    Does anybody have experience with this? Which card should I be looking for, and is this something I should be able to do myself (I'm above average technical).
    Thanks

    Hi,
    sorry to say but the graphics card in the iMac is not upgradeable.
    It is either soldered to the logic board or if it is using the so-called MXM (Mobile PCI-Express Module) you are most likely not able to obtain such a module.
    And even if you could get your hands on such a module, it is most likely not supported by OSX.
    Sorry

  • Can you add memory to a IMac's graphics card?

    I have a 2011 IMac with an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1GB GDDR5, can I add another 1gb to it?

    Greetings,
    I have a 2011 IMac with an AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1GB GDDR5, can I add another 1gb to it?
    The memory on the AMD Radeon HD 6970M is integrated into the graphics card.  It cannot be removed / upgraded.
    While not directly related, you can upgrade the RAM of your CPU if you like.
    Cheers.

  • Can I upgrade my Sony Laptop's Graphic Card?

    My laptop is relatively new and I only bought it a few months ago, model #VPCEB. It currently has a 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 5470 which I want to upgrade so I can have StarCraft II run smoothly because it is kind of choppy right now. I just want to know, is there a way I can actually upgrade my computer and what would be a good graphics card?

    It used to be that some laptops would come with 2-3 options of graphics chipsets, and you could swap between them, plus manufacturers might use the same form factor for a series of laptops (For example, all Dell Inspiron 8000 series units used the same card form factor - so you could upgrade an I8000 to the graphics chipset that came with the I8200).  This is no longer the case, even the highend gaming laptops don't have upgradeable graphics.

  • Can my Late 2009 24" iMac's video card be replaced without replacing the entire logic board?

    Can someone help me determine if my video card is built onto the logic board on my Late 2009 Intel 3.06 mhz 24" iMac?  The video shows corruption (checkered blocks) with a progress bar at the bottom of the screen, then it reboots in a cycle.
    According to similar problems found on the web, I'm failry sure that the VRAM is corrupt.  Apple Tech support had me do a reset on the PRAM and that only changed the direction of the corrupt pixels on my display.  I also ran the Apple hardware diagnostic program that came with the iMac 3 times and it found no problems (from what I could tell squinting through my corrupt display).  The S/N is W891507C250.
    Thank you,
    Will W.

    I appreciate your reply and you are correct about it being an Early 2009 iMac.
    But I'm not sure that you are correct that all Early 2009 iMac's do not have seperate video cards though.  You may be, but according to other sources on the net (such as the link below) claim that some Early 2009 24" iMac models with certain video cards (i.e. NVidia, which I have in mine) are replaceable without replacing the entire logic board.
    Again your feedback is appreciated, but I was kind of hoping for an Apple employee or at least an Apple Support Forum Admin to give me an official answer.

  • Buying new iMac, which graphics card would be best?

    I'm getting ready to buy a new iMac. I already have a 2010 27-in with a Radeon HD 5670 512 MB graphics (card? was built in as I remember). I need an additional iMac for my studio space and am deciding between the 21.5-in. w/ Intel Iris Integrated graphics and the NVIDIA GEForce graphics models. I do photography and art related video projects with music (Final Cut, Photoshop CSS, Logic Pro).
    The 2010 iMac has worked fine for me. Which of the new iMacs would you recommend? Do I need extra dedicated graphics card or is the Intel Iris pretty comparable to what I've been getting with the Radeon?
    I wouldn't mind saving a couple of hundred dollars to use on other things like a back up drive, but if it's going to be a big difference I could spend the extra $ for the NVIDIA.
    I'm not a gamer BTW.
    thanks for your input, tech-heads!

    Although the processor speed is slower, the i5 is much more efficient
    than the i3.  In addition, the memory bus speed is faster than your
    2010.  The result is you will have a faster computer.
    Just for some performance numbers, here are the Geekbench
    scores for your current computer and the one you are considering.
    (64 bit single core test score/64 bit multi core test score)
    2010, i3, 3.2 GHz iMac ---> 2086/4491
    late 2013, 21.5", i5, 2.7 GHz ---> 3172/10255

  • IMac - what graphic card best suited for Aperture???

    Hi, I'm considering buying the 24" iMac to use with Aperture 2.1.2, however it comes with the option
    of two graphics cards:
    ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO w/256MB GDDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS w/512MB GDDR3
    I don't play any games, so what I want is the best card for use with Aperture (and I guess core image?).
    From what I can see at barefeats.com its not necessarily the biggest card which is the best, since they are often optimized for games and not so much 2d graphics.
    Right now I use Aperture on my 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro with 128Mb Nvidia card, and its not the fastest combo at all.
    What is your opinion?
    Best,
    Peter

    AFAIK the Barefeats commentary <http://barefeats.com/imp01.html> seems accurate and suggests that the 2600 card is best value.
    If one is buying a new desktop box, iMacs are much more limiting to Aperture performance than Mac Pros, even a 2006 MP. So the only reason to consider an iMac is price. Once we acknowledge that the setup build is about accepting lesser Aperture performance to achieve lower price, the significance of the $150 extra for the 8800 card becomes more apparent. IMO if one is price-constrained to buying an iMac then the $150 that might have gone to an 8800 card is better spent on adding the necessary maximum RAM and FW800 external hard drive(s).

  • IMac G5 Graphic Card Replacement for blue screen problem

    When I turn on iMac, I only see blue screen, the apple technician said Need to replace graphic card,  Nvidia Gforce 7600GT 256.
    1, can it install in IMac?  Seem like it work for PC?
    2,  I had blue screen problem several time,  I think I turn on iMac too long, so it burn out graphic card.
    3,  I have 2007 G5 24" screen model,  is any durable and afford graphic card you recommend?
         Where to buy for cheaper price?
         Do I need to change mother board?
    4,  can I replace it by myself?  Any picture or video for graphic card replacement?
    Thank you.

    If you look around, you might be able to find someone who will replace just the chip on the graphics card, which is what usually fails. It will take someone highly skilled; they really have to know what they're doing--it's not an ordinary soldering job.
    Here's someone who found a non-Apple service to do this, and it proved to be far less expensive than a full logic board replacement. But I think this was in the UK.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 not optimized for iMac 5K graphics card?

    I have the new iMac 5k with the AMD Redeon R9 M295X 4 GB GDDR5 graphics card. In Premiere Pro CC 2014 (updated to the latest version), when I go to "project settings" and select "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration," I get a pop-up window that reads: "the selected renderer hardware has not been certified." Does this mean that Premiere Pro is not optimized for these video cards? If I still choose to select GPU acceleration, will I see any performance boost?
    Thanks in advance for any responses.

    It means Adobe has not tested the card.
    If you can select the card you are OK.
