tanner30577

So to keep it short and simple i wanted to upgrade my graphics card on my acer nitro 5 laptop it currently has a gtx 1050 but wanted to play at maxed out settings on games. i was wondering if a gtx 1080 laptop graphics card will fit in my laptop with no modifications. Next i wanted to know if i will have any over heating problems if i upgrade or bottle necking. Lastly i cant find any site that sells these cards i need help on that also.
Specs of my acer nitro 5
core i 5 
16g of ddr4 ram
gtx 1050

You can't really upgrade a laptop. 

Acer Nitro cooling is quite poor anyway, wouldn't be able to handle the heat.

Then why did you ask? Also if you could do it you'd be getting m a s s i v e overheating, the cooling and power systems will be designed for a 1050, and a 1080 pulls a hell of a lot more power and makes way more heat.
