iMAc Video Card upgrade?

[Konradx]

Hi is it possible to upgrade/change video cards in the new/or older iMacs? If so are they standard PCI-E or APG or laptop versions?

Thanks in advance

I believe the chips are soldered onto the motherboard just like their laptop counterparts (macbook/powerbook/ibook etc) so I don't believe you can

Sorry Konradx, but internally iMacs are more like laptops than a PC Desktop. The only Macs over the past decade where you can upgrade the video cards are the PowerMac towers.

iMac graphics cards are not replaceable.
