Hey everyone!
So I just bought my Acer Predator G3-710 and just had a question. Is it possible to upgrade my GPU to a let's say 1080 without having to upgrade my motherboard or even get a whole new case to fit it?

Thanks,
Djmackawitz

    GTX 1080 Founders Edition in my earlier G3-710 who worked great.Bigger cards like MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X and others could be a problem.

    Also after measuring my old gpu I've decided to go with the zotac 1080ti 11gb mini , looks like an amazing little card which will definitely fit, could be another option for you, they also do the same in an 8gb I believe

    Oh i honestly wasnt aware of a mini version of the 1080. This might seem like a stupid question but, does it lack in performance or have any problems such as noise level?

     

    Thanks,

    I'm still waiting for mine to get delivered buddy but from what I've seen it's a really powerful little card, looking at the full layout of the card it seems like it could run pretty hot, depending on how good the 90mm and 100mm fans are, I haven't heard any bad reviews on it yet though, once I get it delivered I'll let you know in more detailSmiley Happy

    Hi again buddy, after installing my zotac gtx 1080ti mini i can honestly say its an amazing little card, the noise is still bearable even when i force the fans to 100%, so far i've had no problems at all running every game on ultra at 1920x1080 at an absolute minimum of 60fps, i would definitly recommend this gpu Smiley Happy hope this helps any more questions you have boss just give us a shout Smiley Happy
