Replacing bad video card (not the whole logic board)

2008 iMac 24" 3.06 2x2G NVIDIA 500GB
Took the iMac to a mac repair store. Was told the video card was bad, but the whole logic board would need to be replaced, because the two are not detachable.
My questions:
Is this accurate, or can the video card on this machine be replaced without replacing the logic board?
The machine is getting older, if I get it repaired, what else would you recommend that I upgrade and with what parts?
Pls keep it simple. I'm a user, not a tech :)
Many thanks
