Apple iMac: Graphics card upgrade - does it work?

If you want to equip your iMac with a better graphics card, you'd better sleep another night over it. Upgrading is not only very difficult, it can also cause serious damage to the iMac.

New graphics card for the iMac?

Apple is known for its attention to detail in design. That is why the iMac has no annoying screws on the housing. The only way to get inside is via the display.

• Removing the display with suction cups is not the only challenge. If you have actually made it, you will have to reassemble the display later without dust inclusions - actually not possible for laypersons.
• The graphics card installed in the iMac is precisely adapted to the housing and the environment. Another graphics card could produce too much heat and cause it to overheat.
• Upgrading is not only very difficult, it also involves some dangers. If your graphics card has a defect and therefore needs to be replaced, it is better to contact an Apple-authorized repair shop right away.
