I have a question, perhaps silly .... I want to know if it was possible to mount on a Imac a video card AMD instead of the originally planned for mac. What do you think?
Is this a good question?

The 'Thin Series' iMac's don't use MXM cards they use directly soldered graphic chips like the MacBook/MacBook Pro laptops.
Here's the IFIXIT teardown: iMac Intel 27" EMC 2639 Teardown. Jump to Step 6 for a good view of the graphics chip and its memory.

no you cant, there is not PCI-E ports for you too add the card let alone space for the card too fit. the R9's are for desktop computers.

Thank you so much response, I thought I could put the video card of the new iMac retina of 2013 replacing the original card ... but I realize that it was a silly question
