I have been wondering the same thing. My system however, came with a GTX 1060 6gb. I'm unsure of the manufacturer, but I believe it's an ASUS brand. I have had the panel off and just quickly glanced inside, so I was unable to see the brand. I am hoping to upgrade to a GTX 1080 in the near future, but I am unsure if it is compatible or not. If anyone can shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
