Product: HP Omen 17 Laptop GTX 1660ti
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello Community!

 

Just bought an Omen 17 Gaming Laptop (2019) with a GTX 1660Ti GPU.

I Wanted to ask, if it is possible to upgrade the GPU to a RTX 2070 for example.

 

Thx for your help!

Hi:

 

That would not be possible.

 

The GPU is an integral part of the motherboard and the only way to upgrade is to replace the motherboard with one that is listed in your PC's service manual that may come with better graphics.

 

The part alone would cost as much or more than buying another notebook with the RTX 2070 graphics already included.
