Quadro® RTX™ 5000 for laptop is not sold separately?

repmel007

I thinking on buying a new workstation laptop with the thought in mind to upgrade it in the future to a Quadro® RTX™ 5000 GPU but from what I've managed to see online these GPUs series are not sold separately. Am I right or just don't know where to look?

laptop graphics cards are not known to be upgradeable. The MXM form factor, the closest thing to a standard, is all but completely dead, and companies like Alienware have a proprietary standard that has limited options, if there are options at all.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

You are right, most graphics cards for laptops need to be custom made for each brand/model and the same with cooling for the graphic card.

Not much good in swapping a medium power hungry card for a high power one if the laptop cant handle the additional power draw or additional heat.

That's really annoying. so only SSD and RAM are upgradable?

For the most part, that's basically it, unless you get extremely creative.
