MattyB Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I'm not sure if there is an MXM 1050 card available but a few people have done the 1060 and 1070 upgrade. The 120hz display is suggested for this upgrade because these cards don't seem to like Optimus. They will work but you may have some throttling issues.
