GPU upgrade Posted Sunday at 08:27 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:27 AM Hi, I'm new to this. Looking to upgrade a 7680 with only the built-in GPU with a dedicated one, pref. the RTX2000 ada 8gb. I know I need a different heat sink assembly, two 80p bridges and a power cord. What are the compatibility issues between 7680 and 7780 cards?

You can't mix and match them. [Edit] I was looking at eBay and I see that some listings for a RTX 2000 show compatibility with both 7680 and 7780, so I thought maybe I was wrong (about lower-end cards at least). But then I noticed they ask you to pick between 7680 and 7780 with a drop-down. It still looks to me like the cards can't be swapped between systems.
