    Hello everyone.

    I own a GT72S Dragon Edition with GTX 980 and and I'm wondering if it is possible to exchange 980 for 1070 without any problems besides installing new drivers ?
    Second thing, selling a 980. I would buy a GTX 1070 only if I would be able to sell 980, which is, from what I've learned, a bit of a problem ?

    Not possible due to new architecture design. Only way is to sell your current laptop for a new model that has the 1070.

    @bcpl You can use MSi trade in program to get a newer GT73VR.

    Buying MXM cards at the current price is just absurd, don't support the companies/people selling at 800+usd for a 1070.

    I wouldn't mind paying this amount of money for a 1070, I'd prefer to do that rather than change the laptop to GT72VR mainly because of the unlocked 6820HK in my GT72S which overclocked to 4 ghz makes a difference, but then what I am supposed to do with 980 ?


    Where can I read more about it ? Does it only apply to the US or does it apply worldwide? I'm from Poland and I've never heard about it.

    Thank you for the mention @Mobius 1 you da' bawz !

    But yeah, I can get you cards and laptops into Poland. I also have a partner in Poland, but I think I'm still relatively more affordable, last I checked.

    Definitely interested. I'm going to need a full tutorial though, cause I'm a total noob in those things.

    Send me a PM and we will work out the details on what you need to do to get things running smoothly.

    PM means you have to left click on the avatar and select start conversation, some who are new can't find the option easily so just guiding you along :)

    When I click your avatar all I see is profile page follow ignore. There's no "start conversation" option.

    Am I going to lose G-Sync ?
    Temperatures ? Lower or same ? 980 is around 80-85 in games like Witcher 3.

    Yes you will lose G-Sync during the upgrade also you'll need to mod your drivers upon each nvidia driver release. However the upgrades to pascal are worth it. Make sure you get version v 1.2 gtx 1070 mxm card as to make sure you have a version that doesn't crash.
