What is the best logic board I can install?

My GPU burned out and it is no longer being serviced by Apple. Instead of buying a new computer I'd rather just fix it. Since I'd be installing a brand new logic board, I'd like to install the fastest possible. Can you guys please help me by informing me which would be the best logic board?

My MacBook is a early 2011 15". The last three digits of serial is F8X.

Thank you so much!!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Uh Oh! ifixit seems to be out of any logic boards for your mac. Google to the rescue! MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Core2Duo 2.4GHz Logic Board - Late 2008~

Wrong one according to @danj sorry bout' that. This is the correct one: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/parts/661-...

thanks @danj! that could have gone terribly wrong.

2.4GHz seems to be the highest clock speed you can get. Even though its not an iFixit part, doesn't mean you can't use our quality MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Late 2011 Logic Board Replacement guide!

@captainsnowball - Well I don't think he wants a 2008 logic board! It won't fit or work.

Here's the correct logic board: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody 2.3GHz Core i7 - Apple P/N 661-5853

You need to use a bit more care in your research!
