Probably not the right place for this but I figured this community would be more knowledgeable than your average Mac forum as far as te inner workings of macOS. I recently picked up a 2011 iMac 27" with a dead GPU, and I'm looking at my options as far as replacing it. My two main candidates are the GTX 765m and GTX 860m. I've heard success stories with the 765m but not the 860m. My main concern is the vBIOS. I know if I use a Dell/Alienware card it will boot, but what would it take to get a modified Apple vBIOS loaded on one of them? And when I do get one of them, how easy would it be to get the drivers installed? From what I'm reading I just need to boot into safe mode, but I just wanted to make sure.
Thanks!
