Is it possible to allocate more VRAM on GPU?

[b4mb1]

Hi,

I'm currently iMac 21.5" Mid 2011 (OSX Yosemite 10.10.5), i5 2400S 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6750M (512MB). I will conduct upgrades soon to i7 2600S, 16 or 32GB of RAM, SSD. I was wondering if there's a way to increase more VRAM on my GPU since 512MB might not be enough for video editing or other GPU reliant applications. Please let me know if there's a way. Thank you!

Don't believe you can allocate it to a dedicated GPU

That's sad. I was thinking of upgrading the GPU but it's kinda hard to find the ones compatible to this old machine. Anyway, thanks for the reply!

6770 will work - a 1gb card, else you should try having a look at this thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/2011-imac-graphics-card-upgrade.1596614/

He's using the 27" model. However, there are also recommended GPU's for 21.5" but unfortunately I can't find any of that online (Dell Nvidia Quadro K1000M, K1100M, K2000M, and K2100M). It's really old so... It's hard to find these kind of models anymore.
