I gave up trying to save them ;-{

The best solution is getting to a better GPU! Luckliy you have an out. Apple carried the 2011 design to the 2012 model. All you need to do is get a new logic board:

  • 661-6491 - Logic Board 2.3 GHz i7
  • 661-6492 - Logic Board 2.6 GHz i7

They are running around $500 USD recycled.

The only thing you need to do is a slight modification to the 2011 displays LVDS cable using a nail file as described here:
