Upgrade video card in iMac. Suggestions

Would appreciate any recs on this, guys.

I'm a iMac owner having to replace a faulty video card that makes my screen wig out and go black for no reason (it's a known issue for Apple). Anyhow, I was thinking instead of swapping it out for a straight replacement I might use the opportunity to upgrade to a card that gives me more editing muscle in Premiere. The machine currently is fitted with a Radeon HD 6970 video card -- fyi.

Can anybody direct me to a better card? I have a mid_2011 iMac.

BTW, while I was writing this post, the screen just went to black ... go figure!

Many thanks for any help!

SORRY. PUT THIS IN THE WRONG PLACE EARLIER.
 
Nevermind. Talked to a few folks in the know and was told I couldn't upgrade the video card even if I wanted to. Thanks anyway to all who wasted time reading ;)
