Hello!
Can you fellow people tell me all GPU's you are aware of that are compatible with this iMac? And I mean decent GPU's, not very bad ones if possible.
Thanks.
iMac, macOS Sierra (10.12.5), iMac Mid 2010
Are you talking about eGPU (External GPU) or are you seriously looking to teardown the imac and try to install a new GPU (which i dont recommend)
if its external there really only BizonBox(BIZON – United States | External graphics card (eGPU) for Apple MacBook, Mac Pro, mac mini, iMac. EGP. eGFX USB-C GPU Do…) for now AND its not that stable is what I hear
Remember to see if you i mac is compatible (if it uses thunderbolt 2 or 1)
and about GPUs precisely i believe for mid 2010 build tyuo looking at the nvidia gtx 980 ti or older due to the architecture upgrade with PASCAL (1070 and 1080s etc... ) you're probably looking for the MAXWELL architecture
but please do a lot of research
if your looking to Tear it down look on youtube or IFixit
All iMac GPUs are custom designed boards by Apple around
various graphics chips. As such, they are specifically designed
for each iMac model.
So, the only option you have is to replace what you have with a version
built for that iMac at that time that has better performance. If you purchased
the best GPU available for that iMac at that time, it is the best that you
can do. There are only a few places that carry parts for Macs that old
and could be tough to find.
Probably not what you want to hear, but is a fact of life with an iMac and
most any "all-in-one".
I mean installing a new GPU, not external, as those are heavily expensive and wouldn't be compatible since of not having a Thunderbolt connection anyways.
