The 2011 model upgraded with the Radeon 6970m video card had superior performance over the standard 6770m card that same year or the previous year models or the following year models of same size with the i5 or i7 CPU. But there was a basic flaw in either that video system or the cooling of that card or the whole case. It runs HOT. Many failed and there was an extended exchange or repair of those models for a couple years longer. Apple ceased that years ago. Now only a very expensive replacement card, used probably, is the only repair. It is rare to find a fully operational unit for less than $500 USD. There are a few for much less for parts or repair, but I don't know how easy that is done. My unit was bought used about 7 months ago. I use it occasionally, hoping that its old parts last. To extend that usefulness, I installed an external exhaust fan and vent hood on the upper rear of the case. This USB powered by 5VDC is very quiet. I got mine on line. Walsoon or Lanyi or other brands are fine, so is a 100mm square 5VDC USB flat fan. This drops the internal temls by 30*F. Also I run a Mac fan program to accelerate the internal fans and monitor the temperatures. I would rather load up the case with dust or wear out fans than blow up a $400 video card or some other part that is harder to swap out. I like the display very much. It looks great for office work, Internet, videos, and some slower games. But even with this superior 6970m chip card,. it is not a gaming machine.Read full review

This is a classic machine that still holds up well today. While longevity is not as good as older Apple products in my view, with the machine being somewhat prone to developing graphics card issues over time, with the memory maxed out, a classic flat screen iMac, as long as it functions, is still plenty fast enough to run older software, edit videos and get most other modern computing tasks done. Just don't expect it to last a lifetime.
