P750TM1-G RTX2080 upgrade kit? Who’s done this?

Is the RTX2080 upgrade kit plug and play?

It includes MXM RTX2080 GPU, “UPDATED heatsink”, and thermal pads, x bracket, with usb flash drive bios update.

 

sounds good. where are you sourcing this? eurocom / ebay?

 

it is on eBay sold by Eurocom. It is a little expensive but I figure I can sell my current GTX1080 and current heatsink as a complete upgrade on eBay.

 

I don’t know of anyone who’s done it on a P750/P775, probably because the performance increase going from a 190W 1080 to 150W 2080 is so minimal.

 

You are right, but at only 1080P it is about a 2%
to 20% faster.

But at 1440P the performance gap opens up even further to around 10% to 41% faster performance. With 20% faster average performance. And literally 40% faster on average in just “watch dogs 2”

I can only imagine how well 4K resolutions would do. The higher the resolution the more the performance scales. It would probably perform 40% better in all titles in 4K on average even with only 150TDP.

These performance numbers are with a X4C with 9900K gtx1080

vs

X7C with 9900K rtx2080

 

Yeah, Turing’s greater bandwidth lets it pull away at higher resolutions. But 10% faster at 1080p on average isn’t worth it for me personally, since I don’t game at higher resolutions, and mostly play shooters where I prefer frame rate over visual quality anyway.

 

so with a gtx1080 at 1080P you should still be able to run ultra detail with high refresh rate 80-150 FPS on most all first person titles out there right?

 

Only real benefit that I can see from pairing an RTX2080 with the thinner p750 chassis is, less heat getting dumped into the unified heatsink compared to a GTX1080.

 

Generally speaking yes, although there are some exceptions such as Metro Exodus.

 

Congratulations for your upgrades. Let me know how much do you want for the 1080,

 

aaand already a buyer in line hahaha

I agree. While heat bleed is less of an issue with the 1080 and RTX heatsinks in this model than the 1060/1070 heatsink (which my reseller originally used for my 1080 ), the 2080 itself should definitely run cooler than the 1080. A lower TDP combined with the much larger Turing die makes it significantly easier to handle.

 

It's more the reduced heatsink size over the 17 inch which impacts temperatures.

 

Can't go wrong with a GTX1080
