Hello,

@Bloetschkopf

 and @ anyone else successfully upgraded GPU for MS-1762

From the the post above and some others on this thread (and other threads in other forums), it seems I can upgrade my GPU.

My laptop is a Hyrican 1762 which is an MSI GT70 0NE clone :

• i7-3630QM @ 2.4GHz
• GeForce GTX 680M
• 20GB RAM (4 slots)
• Windows 7 professional X64-bit

I have been following the posts on upgrade possibilities but kept away because of high prices.  It seems that with then new RTX 20xx series, prices are finally dropping.

Anyway I have found an Aetina version of the GTX 1060 MXM, analytical specs link :

• Model Number M3N1060-MN
• Bus Type MXM 3.1
• Memory Size 6GB GDDR5
• Memory Clock (MHz) 4000 (8.0 Gbps)
• Form Factor MXM graphics module version 3.1 Type B
• Dimensions (mm) 105x82

Will this work you think?

What steps in addition to the physical replacement of my 680M ?

Bios? / drivers? / other?

Thank you in advance!

Christos

PS :  I assume that this MXM board for the Clevo P7 series, with a separate power supply socket, across the PCI pins, will not work?

It also looks like it's wider.
