21.5 inch iMac Graphics Card
Wondering if anyone knows what all graphics cards will fit in the 2011 iMac? Graphics card is beginning to go out and don’t have more than about $300 available for replacing it. I would like not to lose the boot screen, as I have seen others put Alienware graphics cards into iMacs to replace their dying cards and the machine runs but without boot screen. If I’m not mistaken, the ATI Radeon HD 5670 that I currently have is a MXM 3.0b.
Could I find a graphics card that is used in later Apple hardware that would fit the size requirements and it not lose the boot screen? For example, the 2013 iMac’s GT 750M? (I know that the 2013’s graphics card is soldered, I just don’t know if they made some stand-alones and if so if they would work)
