What type of upgrade can I do with my 2011 iMac
Hi all, so I have a 2011 iMac 27" with
2.7GHz Intel Core i5 CPU
32GB Ram (upgraded myself years back)
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512MB
512GB Samsung SSD 840 PRO (upgraded myself years back)
I mainly need to use the following programs extensively:
1. xcode to build iOS apps
2. pycharm for server side code
3. Lightroom Classic CC for some photo editing
I would like to upgrade my CPU and graphic card(eGPU also ok) because LR runs really slow.
However I am not sure which one is the bottleneck for me now, is it the CPU or GPU, I have no idea.
I would gladly invest $1000 for an eGPU if it could give me a huge performance boost and make my 2011 iMac to work for another 5 years.
CPU upgrade is also fine with me if it could provide some performance boost.
I really need some advice which way should I go for this, upgrade CPU or GPU.
And what are my upgrade options if I want to upgrade CPU, which CPU should I buy, is there any CPU upgrade video I can reference to?
If upgrade GPU, should I go for internal or external? Any guide that I can look at?
Thank you very much in advance.
