    It is a bit pointless to upgrade to a 2GB VRAM video card at the end of 2021. Quadro m2200 is available for sale on ebay and is a 4 GB card with good performance.

    The 1050 the OP installed is a 4GB card. And there still are laptops with dGPUs that have 2GB VRAM.

    Hmm I forgot there were 2GB and 4 GB variations of this model. Strangely I own a GTX 1050 TI that has the exact same vbios version as the one @maxius4 listed for the 1050:

    Sign-On Message : GP107 E2904 SKU 1 VGA BIOS
    Build GUID : 00000000000000000000000000000000
    IFR Subsystem ID : 1462-11FF
    Subsystem Vendor ID : 0x1462
    Subsystem ID : 0x11FF
    Version : 86.07.2B.00.00
    Image Hash : 37E1BA6B7F2AF77503302ACC964DA6CB
    Product Name : GP107 Board
    Device Name(s) : GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
    Board ID : 0xF00A
    Vendor ID : 0x10DE
    Device ID : 0x1C8C
    Hierarchy ID : Normal Board

    So if the 1050 worked, it is quite possible the 1050TI with same vbios would work as well. Although I see his 1050 is vendor HP, when mine is MSI, yet same vbios?!

    @maxius4 Is your Zbook with Optimus (integrated GPU) or only with dGPU? Also how are temps if you push it with Heaven benchmark for example?
