Officially, Apple provides some models with upgraded video options at the time of purchase, but the video is not intended to be upgraded by a third-party. So it is "theoretically upgradable" in these systems.

HOWEVER you have to use a GPU that is OEM so that it will work - you can't just plunk any GPU i to the box or you'll have EFI or extension (aka driver) problems. Your choices seem to be:

  • iMac "Core i3" 3.06 21.5" Mid-2010 256 MB Radeon HD 4670
  • iMac "Core i3" 3.2 21.5" Mid-2010 512 MB Radeon HD 5670
  • iMac "Core i3" 3.2 27" Mid-2010 512 MB Radeon HD 5670
  • iMac "Core i5" 2.8 27" Mid-2010 1 GB Radeon HD 5750

The best place to score one of these IMHO would be e-bay or Google shopping.
