Hi everyone,
What MXM is used by the iMac!?
I would like to upgrade my iMac to one of the newer graphic cards on the market - This being something the standard 6750M and 6770M 512mb.
These both use a MXM-A port.
But the 27" can be bought with both 6770M and 6970M - The 6970 uses a MXM-B port.
Is its just:
21.5" = MXM-A
27 " = MXM-B
Best regards
Dennis
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Did you succeed in your quest qwah?? I need to do what you did! Please reply!
I bought the following: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/661-5969-Apple-Video-Card-AMD-Radeon-HD-6970M-2GB-for -iMac-27-Mid-2011---NEW-p-40083.html
And then I took apart the iMac and switched the graphics module.
Several guides on how to dismantle the iMac can be found on Youtube.
This guide is a speed guide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vW8lGupPc8
I worked like a charm and I had it up and running within a 2 hour period.
All the best

Thank you very much. I had questions since the products seem only to refer to the 27" imac. But now it is finaly confirmed and i will get right on the task. Thanks for your quick reply! 🙂
edit; Before your upgrade, you said you had an 7970M and I currently have a 6770. Will that cause a problem?? Im running a 2,7ghz intel core i5.
I want to upgrade the GPU on my mid/late 2011 iMac 21"
