Hello everyone,
I currently have a 3060 installed and would like to upgrade it to a 3080. Is that possible?

You're looking at over $1000 with labor for a board and installation.

Compare that to the differential of selling the existing system and buying a new(er) one.

Not without replacing the entire system board, no -- and that's a very expensive upgrade.

Certainly not more expensive than buying a new laptop, right?
Does anyone know exactly what needs to be replaced to get this done?
What exactly kind of motherboard is needed for this?
