    Anyone heard or tried this?

    Would the GTX 1060 work in my p157SM? Or would my BIOS not let it go through?

    Running Prema Bios.

    I think the issue is more a 1060 physically won't fit. Maybe the MSI one.

    @Mr. Fox do you know?

    The MSI one should.

    Slight modification on heatsink should do the trick, but I'm more concerned about BIOS and such.

    MSI 1060 is still the same size as maxwell MXM so it should fit, but the bigger concern is if your laptop uses eDP not LVDS as I believe Pascal dropped support for LVDS.

    Exacly, the card doesn't have LVDS, which doesn't matter because the p15x series isn't direcly connected to the graphicscard. The monitor is connected to the mainboard, meaning, the intelchip is handling the screen via LVDS, so the non support of LVDS schouldn't be a problem.
