Read this and look through this.

On another note, if you don't know how to do it/what to do, the logical answer to it is don't do it.

Question from facedekiadam : "Can I Upgrade Gtx 760 to 1080 Founders Edition"

Hello everybody.
I have g20aj gtx 760.I want to upgrade my Gtx 760 to Gtx 1080 Founders Edition.
I have 180+230 watt power bricks.
Can I upgrade it ? and will it fit to my case?
Gtx 760 uses 170 watt and Gtx 1080 uses 180 watt.
Specs:
İntel i7-4790
Gtx 760
180+230 watt power bricks

What case do you have? And you definitely want a solid PSU to handle that 1080. But if the card can fit in the case a nice SeaSonic 550w 80+ gold for $50 will do you just fine.

What case do you have?

There was a similar thread not long ago, in which I'd answered though regardless, you want to look through these links:

Right, now, you have about 3 other threads asking the same question. Stop spamming the forums with the same question or I'll have to take some more drastic steps.

What PSU do you have? Also what Cpu do you have, you dont want your gtx 1080 to be bottlenecked badly.

There's a couple issues at work here:
1) Physical dimensions of the video card you want to put into the machine. I know this sounds like a stupid statement, but when you open the case, you'll notice that there's a metal housing that the video card slides into. I tried several 1070/1080 cards and couldn't get them to fit into the housing. The main problem is that there is a metal latch that has to be in place for the card to secure into the housing correctly. Most of the cards had some sort of plastic or metal ventilation piece in place which blocked the bracket from closing.

2) Power requirements. In the ASUS G20AJ, the designers opted to use external laptop "brick" type power supplies. You have a 230w and (hopefully) a 180w. On mine, the 230w is dedicated to the CPU/motherboard, etc. The 180w is for the GPU. Nvidia 1080 cards draw 180w of power, the 1070's and under draw less. While technically you can support a 1080, the peak power of the GPU power supply does not leave room for any degradation.

As for a solution, I opted for the EVGA 1060 6gb card. It fits in the case, the housing, and performs almost as well as the 1070, for a much lower price point ($250-$300).

What was the power draw on the card? And did you upgrade the GPU PSU? Or keep with the stock one?
