Finally! I am so happy to see a proper video of this. Every guide has been awful or uncomfortably complicated. Finally a simple tutorial
Thanks a lot! Yes, I also had a hard time figuring it out. Nobody really tells you properly how to do it and how easy it actually is.
congratulations my friend you deserve after all this time waiting, a hug from a Brazilian fan
Thanks a lot!
@Alexandre Ferreira 3 Brasileiros
Just what I was looking for!!! Thanks, man!
You are welcome!
Awesome that you got it working!
Yeah, finally after all this time.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's been very helpful.
You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much! My iMac is on the blink and I got tired reading through the Mac Rumors pages with no clear instructions. I'm going to order the k4100 and see how that works. Thanks again
Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful
Sweet! Agree that other guide is confusing as heck, especially as to what works or doesn't after. Wish I knew someone with the skills to upgrade my gpu without making it a toaster. Great job!
Upgrading the GPU isn't that difficult if you don't have a 2011 model. Have a look at my video where we upgraded it on mine.
@@MacintoshMen Mines - iMac mid 2011 27" 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7 24 gb ram Thnx will watch your vids again.
Thanks so much for your detailed video.
You're welcome
Congrats. Finally found the data on your web site, you could add in a specific menu with steps (for us amateurs).
You could also offer this as a service (someone sends you the card, you flash, check and return).
Make a list (video and your site) for the cards where this is possible - presumably GE Force GPU cards.
I would guess that there is an easy way to install the card (secondary) in a Win machine and preflash before doing the final install / upgrade in a iMac. Open your Win PC tower, add the card, boot the PC, ID the second card and flash.
That would be ideal and eloquent.
Haha thanks for the idea, but I think offering this a service is just too time consuming for me. Anway, yes, you could of course also use a PC do to the flashing.
Awesome like people helping people 👍
im very happy for you.Imacs are good.the 2011 are very ok to upgrade and now whit this flash .stay safe
Thanks a lot!
you are welcome and thank you for sharing how to do it.im lucky cos i dont have to take my mobo out just the videocard is a must easy way
Great to see it up and running again. I did the SSD change myself but found that it boots but no screen. I think I damaged the connector like you did. It’s a black screen but glowing a little. Did you have the same symptoms? To help I can identify that there are 3 LED on at the base of the iMac which can be seen through the grill.
The 4th LED is not on. My question is, how did you fix the screen so you can see the screen? I don’t think it’s a dead gpu because it worked fine before so I think it’s a connector issue. Thanks for the videos you guys share - very helpful :)
Well seems like it could very well be that you damaged the connector or cable. I once worked on a 21.5" iMac where I ripped the cable (I could easily buy a replacement cable and fix it). Unfortunately I wasn't so lucky on mine, there I had to get a whole motherboard replacement.
Congratulations!
Thanks!
Noice. What was the trick re running the card flash with protection off??? Ubuntu 20.04 runs really nicely on those 2010 iMac's ... I have dual boot and I don't want to go back to OSX.
I never saw somebody so happy with a boot screen. ;)
I never thought I'd be so happy about a bootscreen in my life haha. About catalina, you have to create a bootable usb using Dosdude1's patcher and after install you need to manually patch it again without the "legacy video card support" option. I tried it out and it works for the most part really great, but there are some small bugs; I'll make a video about it.
According to Macrumors's guide, they said "For all Nvidia MXM B cards and the WX7100 you need the MXM-B heat sink from the 27" mid 2011 model. This is the only sink with three heat pipes capable to get the generated heat by using 75W out of the system unter load."
I have the 2010 27" model just like you do, and our heatsinks have two heat pipes. Do you experience any overheating like they mention here?
No, in my case the GPU never ran very hot. There is nothing wrong with upgrading the cooler, but not really necessary in my opinion.
Nice Video ! I have one question. After flashing the VBios, your GTX 765M workings fine ? Like Brightness control ? Thanks from Eternal City, Rome !
Hi, sorry, no Brightness control still doesn't work with the vbios.
Hi mate thanks very much for your videos. You got a new subscriber!
I am about to get the dual upgrade (i7 2600S + GTX 770M) for my Mid 2011 21.5 iMac.
I am just wondering why you needed to take out the GTX that you had in there and then put it back in?
I am willing to follow the exact same process of flashing the GTX once I put it in and since I still have to install the components in the first place I'd just like to make sure that I don't unnecessarily do the job twice! :D
I am using a dual SSD config using the two available SATA3 ports, so I am already running a dual-boot with Windows on separate drives.
Thanks very much in advance!
I put the original AMD GPU back in to install Mac OS and Windows because there I had a bootscreen. Then, when it all was up and running I put the GTX 765M in and flashed it. There is no other easy way, you have to do it this way. I only did it twice (actually three times) because I had to switch the motherboard in the iMac and the OS was screwed up once.
MacintoshMen hi mate thanks for your answer, I think I got it now, you took the 770M out to install your new motherboard. I won't have to take it out and out in my case, as I've got the default one one now, and I already have Windows on another internal SSD. Basically, correct me if I am wrong, I will just have to put the 770M on and then use the "startup disk" feature from OSX Settings to boot it into Windows, and then nvflash-it! Thanks again in advance, I appreciate your help!

Sounds good!
I heard someone put a NVIDIA 980M MXM card into a 2011 Mac and got it to work, have you heard about this? I wonder if there is a Mac Flash for that card's bios.
Hello! I have a question... Do you know if the heatsink of a A1312 27" iMac fits in a A1311 21.5" iMac? I would like to change my GPU, but the heatsink doesn't cover the whole GPU, só I thought about to change the heatsink as well. Is it possible to do?
Can this be done using an eternal USB drive with Windows on it? OR does Windows have to be on the internal drive?
Hi! I have an Imac 3.1 Ghz Core i5 Mid 2011 (A1312) I was planning on upgrading my Gpu to the GTX 765M. I heard that I have to make some modifications to my heatsink for the new card to fit properly? Do you have any idea what & how I'm meant to do that? I couldn't find much about how to make the modifications to the heatsink anywhere. If you have any idea it would be really helpful. Thanks
You don't need any modifications; the thing you probably meant was the little bottom plate. Just take it off of the original GPU and put it on to the 765M. Then everything should just bolt into place!
Video hat mir gut gefallen (wie fast alle von euch). Bitte Ton etwas lauter aufnehmen...es kann nicht nur an meinem Alter liegen ;-)
Ok, ich werde den Ton etwas lauter machen. Habe da aber immer Angst dass es übersteuert wird.
Wow! I learned a lot from your video. Would you suggest doing this on a GeForce GTX 780M? I just ordered one for this 2011 iMac that I'm doing a rebuild. Thanks in advance.
Yeah the 780M should work great. Have fun!
@@MacintoshMen Should I first install an OS (High Sierra) and then NVFLASH in a Windows environment? I was planning to install the new GPU first, then perform the NVFlash?
@@armondtodd6969 You'll need Windows natively installed. Better install it before you replace the old GPU with the new one.
Hey Macintoshmen, I have a GTX 675M, I dont need loads of graphics just need to use late software to control my radios. Where can I find the file I need, cheers man great video
There is no such file for a 675M as far as I know unfortunately.
Hello thanks for this simple method ! I guess it works also with K610M card ?
Yes, works the exact same way.
Kann ich eigentlich das auch beim 2009er 27er machen (die 4950HD upgraden). Falls ja, mit welchen Karten?
Hello, Thanks for this nice vidéo. One question: which méthode to install Windows ? Boot camp? Is it possible to start window after installing the new gpu?
Thanks
You should install windows before upgrading the gpu
Great work could you do a video tutorial in how to upgrade to catalina or Mojave that will be awesome
Yeah, a video about catalina will come out, but it's not a tutorial. I also want to try mojave and make that a tutorial
@@MacintoshMen thax i will love to see that tutorial
Thanks for your previous message! I have the i5 3.4ghz on my machine should I change it or just stay with the same? After flashing the card, are you able to use the brightness? Thanks
No, brightness control still doesn't work after the flash but you can use third party programs to regulate it.
You can install opencore for brightness control.
great ! I already ordered 770m 3GB version and I cant wait to flash it ! I already use bootcamp win10 so it shouldn't be any different from your attempt . I will upgrade to Mojave though, because I heard Catalina doesnt support any 32bit software anymore (?)
True, but I have High Sierra running on a VM under Catalina to run legacy applications.
Let me know how yours works with Mojave
@@MacintoshMen i will, my order will come from China aprox. in 2 weeks . I'm also gonna test i7 860S with this config it was also cheap on eBay and has low tdp . Not 75 but 82W. According to some ppl they managed to run it on 2010 21ich version like mine ... I will post my results
If you have to run Catalina, make sure you turn off secure boot, it does something to the data where you can't retrieve it if the Mac fails, Louis Rossmann just made a video about it

I always use Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro
The AMD Radeon HD 67970M 124 MB HD Graphics card no longer works
can you help me which model card design to change
I highly recommend getting a 765M, 770M or 780M, because you can get bootscreens for them. Which one only depends on your budget.
Congratulations! I installed the GTX 770m and I've already done the flash procedure. I noticed that when I turn on the iMac, a window appears with several lines of text, and then it closes and continues to launch the iMac. In your video I also noticed that the window appears and then disappears. Do you know how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
For me this window with the text appears every time I did a PRAM reset. But it only does it once; I'm not sure how to fix it but as long as your iMac boots up fine I would not see it as an issue.
hello can you helpme to falsh gtx 680 on imac 12.2 - 27' - i have black screen and no logo - after 3 second the loading bar show and it worg OK= but no boot option. can you help me.

great video!! just wondering if i need to flash my 780M for the mid 2011 27" if I am planning on only using an Apple OS (high sierra) with no windows installed; wIll I still have the screen that shows the different accounts on my machine or do I have to flash it in order to see that?
You don't necessarily have to flash it if your running High Sierra (I used it this way for a long time). However, I recommend flashing it because troubleshooting is easier. You can then boot from USB, etc. You an also use Linux to flash if you don't want to install Windows.
@@MacintoshMen appreciate you bruv!
Gruss Gott, MacintoshMen! Ive been watching your channel closely and you're the right guy to ask I think! First of all, great work you're doing here. Id like to ask you few questions just to be sure, if I may of course.
As Ive bought my first iMac 2 days ago, (iMac 27 2011 High Sierra, 2,7 i5, 8GB Ram, 1TB HDD, HD6770 512Mb).
And well, in 2020 this is not the spec one should run so, I'm planning to put inside:
Intel Core i7 2600
32Gb of 1333MHz RAM
Additional 500Gb SSD
And most important thing, GTX 780M GPU! (DELL/ALIENWARE????)
Ive downloaded necessary files that you've provided, but the question is, just to summarise things as I don't want to yuck it up.
Its all about installing Windows aside, putting GPU in, and flashing the GPU in Windows, and thats it? No driver installation, no other crapdoing?
Thanks in advance for any answers!
Hi, this looks all pretty good to go, you shouldn’t encounter any big problems. I just recommend when you install Windows, don’t install any kind of driver so it will not get into troubles booting up with the 780M. Just in case, set up Remote Desktop. Good luck
@@MacintoshMen Wow! That was quick! Thank you for answering me so fast! :) Alright, that sounds promising. So in OSX I do not change or install anything, the card must be Dell/Alienware and what do you mean by setting up Remote Desktop, in Windows you mean? Sorry if I ask trivial things, I just don't want to make a mistake :) Cheers.
@@REDOX785 No, in OSX you don't have to change anything. In Windows you could set up remote desktop, that's in case your screen stays black with the new GPU. Then you can still access it from another pc and still do the flashing.
Hey, its me again, I've found out (on your website) that similarly priced GPU (GTX980M) is compatible as well, but do you have VBIOS for that one as well by any chance ? Or it is better to stick with 780M. Cheers mate :) Huge fan of your efforts.
@@REDOX785 I personally wouldn't go for the 980M, since there is no VBIOS available. Also it might be, that the power supply can't handle such a card.
Hello. Will this work with the 2011 21.5 imac 2.5 i5? I was hoping to use the nvidia 770m to upgrade as I've seen it works wonders, but I wonder if it will draw too much power?
I'm hoping to switch to a single SSD, delete the DVD-Drive, and possibly upgrade the CPU to the i7.
Please advise
More specifically my Imac is mid 2011 imac 12,1 which would be the best cpu?
Yes, this will work on your iMac. Have a look at the link below, there you'll find all sorts of infos about upgrading your iMac. The best CPU for yous is Core i7 2600s.
Hello
MacintoshMen
Excellent work yours.
I have a 2011 iMac with High Sierra and Windows 10, I installed a GTX780m, I want to use NVflash in windows, but it is impossible to start the computer with the Gtx780m in windows 10. How can I flash the card?
Thanks!!

I've tried the upgrade but only getting black screen. Following other comments i (think) can also only see one LED through the bottom grill near the ports. but not sure what i'm looking for nor how to confirm the fault if this is defo a bad card (my old card was gone). any advise?
It sounds like you have a broken card to me.
Hi Bro, Nice work ! Does it work on a 21,5 inch iMac late 2009 with a C2D processor ? Thanks
No, unfortunately for the flashing firmware to work you require at least an Core i3 CPU
So let me see if I got it right, u need to flash for the new card with the old card on the iMac? Or?
U can’t do it with the new card. Did u got it right?
No, the new card needs to be in the iMac to flash it
how do you run with protect off?
Hi there GTX660M wil work with 2011mac or need flash
Great job! Does sleep work?
Yes, sleep works
Hmmm I see you had quadro roms on this. Might have to dual boot and do this.
Yes, give it a shot!
@@MacintoshMen Still will have to replace the card first anyway as my stock GPU is dead...

How did you start up with windows ???
I just got a 765m to do the same upgrade, do you know if this can be done by running windows on parallels or does the computer have to be booted to Windows?
Use a Ubuntu live usb. The windows root is a nightmare with boot camp and not being able to get the right drivers for windows etc
@@Arif-uf8bv Hello, to start the operating system in Ubuntu, is it necessary to disconnect the hard disk from the computer?
Best guide i could find! Cheers mate! Quick question. did you just use boot cat to load windows?
and for the other listed processors "Same process works for 770M, 780M, Quadro K1000M, K1100M, K2000M, K2100M" can those be upgraded to Mojave and Catalina too?
In my case I used bootcamp, yes. About the other GPUs, yes you can flash those too and run Mojave/Catalina
@@MacintoshMen can I flash the k2000m, it's just cheaper?
imac 2011 / 21.5
After flashing the card, is there availability of a boot switcher and brightness adjustment through the keyboard?
The boot switcher yes, but not the brightness control. You'd need a third party program for that.
1. Do you have in mind which third party program could do this?
2. After flashing the iMac, was there any issue that you could say that because of it, the iMac was not working as its original state? Was there something missing? The brightness adjusting from the keyboard, i would say that it was one missing thing.
Hi, do you thionk it would work using windows on virtualbox ? i struggle with bootcamp
No, you will need a full Windows Install. Virtualization won't work. You can also flash using Linux.
hi, i have an mid2011 imac, i bougth the nvidia 765m graphic card, my question is... its necessary to do all this process? my imac is runnig high sierra Os and i do no want to update... this hardware upgrade only affects the brightness control? or it can be harmful on the long run?
If you don't want to upgrade from 10.13 then it's not necessary to flash the vbios, but if something goes wrong with your Mac OS install (e.g. not booting or something) it's very frustrating to troubleshoot since you can't get into internet recovery, boot from usb, etc (Happened to me too before I flashed!). You'd have to put the original GPU back in for that. That's why I recommend flashing anyway.
@@MacintoshMen thx men, your´re the best!
I just did the cpu upgrade and it went great :D ... If you want you can check it in the video I just made!

Hi men, I Can install this GPU on an imac 27 mid 2010, core i5 2.8? thank you!
Yes, will work
Way cool, thx for doing this. And I agree, that macrumors thread is a bit of a train wreck. Can your iMac still support an external display with thru the mini display port? I’m guessing no, but that’s not a big deal for me. Also it does seem like your mid 2010 27” iMac does support 32gb of ram. I have the same machine (iMac 11.3 EMC No.: 2390) with 24gb 1333 MHz DDR3 in it right now with the i7. In comments on another video you were saying it was limited to the officially listed max of 16gb, I think this may be true for the 27” i3 but not for the 27” i5 or i7. Now you have to upgrade the wireless to get handoff working. I can’t figure out the antennas. Thx again!
Well, I am happy to report to you that external displays do actually work! I was surprised myself. About the RAM, I think 32 GB will work fine.
I bought a 765m and my Mac will not boot at all. One led on the logic board. Think it's firmware or bad card? I put my old card back in, works fine.
Bad Card
Hey fam, i’ve been following you for a longtime and i like you (no homo) - can i pick any 765M on eBay or compatible ones from Macforum? - im afraid of buying a expensive one and it turns out it won’t boot in Windows (bootcamp) .. let me know bro, or i’ll be wasting my trap money 🥶 sorry for spamming...... but i really need a new GPU and answer😞😞
did your brightness controls work once you flashed the video card?
I started reading some of the comments and read you were unable to get the brightness buttons to work. I also read that this process can cause crashes when the pc enters the sleep mode. have you experience this?
It depends on the GPU. In my case, the 765M, brightness control can't be reactivated but on others such as 780M it can be done.
Hi i've a NVIDIA QUADRO 2000M 2GB removed from DELL PRECISION M4600 P/N 0PMY8Y i've mounted on my IMAC late 2010 system run but ther's more problem of flickering images that blink and overlap: i can flash using this rom? Thank's a lot
No, I think that your GPU is faulty.

Yes works
I installed a new video card, as my AMD RAdeon 6970 was bad. Can I flash it?
Unfortunately, my boot screen is all black.
You can flash it if you manage to get into Windows somehow. That's the only requirement. Probably you'll have to use a Mac flashed GPU to get it set up though, which sucks, but I don't see any other way.
Can this be done for 660m?

You'll need to install the card, then boot up Windows and then do the flashing process.
Hi.. Yes you are lucky you have the 27" and dont have to take out the MOBO. Im doing a 2010 obviously the 21.5 but since I ordered the cpu too it's probably wise to wait till it comes from china and do it all together.

Saw a video doing the flash where the guy tried flashing it on another machine with an adaptor then that did not work then he struggled with with windows and ended up using linux... but wait couldn't you just use a dos usb really for theoretically the easier way to go?
Did you use BootcampWindows to update flash?
yes
hello! good for your videos, i can use a programmer chip eprom for flashing bios? Insert the file rom of chip gpu, thank you

Probably, but there needs to be a patch done first haha
It definitely will, I'm now running Catalina with everything working with 880M(which is basically the same as 780M). And I believe some people have already done so just with some small problem needed to patch maybe?
How do you install windows on a Mac to be able to do this at all?
You can install Windows just like a regular bootcamp install.
How do you get it to boot to windows? I'm stuck on that step.
I set the startup disk in OS X system prefs to Windows
Use a live Ubuntu usb. Hold alt on startup, guess the right startup for Ubuntu, let it load.. use the nvflash for Linux to flash.
nvflash doesn t work on win 10 Pro plz help
Did you download the correct version? www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/
Use a live Ubuntu usb.. much faster
@@Arif-uf8bv Yes, but then you'll also have to be able to boot into it, which isn't working without boot switcher. You can though use a USB thumb drive from someone on MacRumors who created a live linux that can be accessed via the network and ssh (similar to a raspberry pi)
will the graphics card work if i just wanted to stay in windows??
Yes
@@MacintoshMen without flashing it? or do i still have to do that?
@@Laddermans You don't have to do it but I still think you should in case you have to troubleshoot anything. If you have to reinstall Windows for example, you can't even see anything because you have no boot switcher.
Can you at least link us to the files for easy download? A Link in the description should suffice.
Yes, that's a good idea. I put it in the description
@@MacintoshMen Thank you for the great video btw! Bloody brilliant. I have ordered mt GTX765M and will do this as soon as it arrives, can you confirm you need windows 7 or will this work with Windows 10?
This will work on any windows

Hi friend How I flash ? if black screen windows ?

@@MacintoshMen thanks for ideia , i will return if works
how to get windows on imac??
More or less like on PC, but using the bootcamp drivers.
MacOS has the 'Bootcamp' program for installing Windows on a section of the hard drive
Do the nvflash64 and 765M.rom files need to be on the Mac side of the computer or on the Windows 7 side?. I copied these files to the Windows 7 side in bootcamp. I started the iMac no problems, changed my "Startup disk" to Windows, then restarted. So far so good.
I ran CMD.exe but am unable to flash the bios. Whether I place the individual files on my desktop or in a file folder, I get "system is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." or "system cannot find the path specified". I'm using a 21" 2011 imac in Sierra but with a 770M. Please help by listing the exact text needed. Thanks!
They need to be on the Windows partition
The commands can be found following the links in the description
Thanks! I finally was able to flash the gpu. My problem was using the "dos commands". Once I figured out how to get to the proper directory it went smoothly. It only took me all day! Thanks again for you help!
No problem
maybe to put the mic closer to your mouth i almost needed a hearing aid :)
This should do also the patch to unsupported macs sunning Mojave as with me i kept on getting the black screen without using at the start the Alt key holding which i see you did.
Now in Mojave using the great patch with out card we need first to flash the card in windows
