My notebook has a Nvidia GTX1050 graphic card. Is it possible to change it to GtX1080 one or not. And what are the requirements actually?

Sorry no, you can't upgrade GPU alone, you have to buy new system board (if available) which contains


(a) Motherboard,

(b) CPU with integrated video,

(b) Video card   (*)

(c) Operating system.


All above 4 components are on one piece of hardware called System board. This would be a very expensive upgrade.

 

(*) You can only buy system board with GTX 1060 max.


Regards.
