Slick, thanks for posting that info. I was under the impression that the GPU was hard-soldered in. My bad. It's not a simple undertaking, I see, but still "possible".

In short at US$300 plus postage not worth the bucks.

Yeah, it's the 2011 iMacs and later that the GPU is integrated (surface soldered) to the logic board. I watched a YouTube video the other day where the guy replaced the card in a 2010 model. It was much more of a job than I would be prepared to undertake. You could tell the guy in the video had all the right tools and had probably done the procedure many times over.
