Is the iMac graphic processor soldered to the motherboard?

Hi

I want to buy the basic model of the iMac 27 and upgrade it myself, it comes out much cheaper like that ..

I saw that all the parts could be replaced but I did not see any manual to replace the graphics card. Was it soldered? Is it replaceable?

The GPU's in the 'Thin Series' are all soldered to the logic boards. Apple no longer uses MXM cards. Sorry, not replaceable.
