dell g7 7588 gpu upgrade
Hello,
I have the Dell g7 7588 with the 1060 max-q design and i am wanting to upgrade to something more powerful. what are my options and is it worth it. Also would it be better to get an external GPU?

Your very welcome @Thephilly64
With a desktop you are open to upgrades to keep up with newer technology.

Welcome to the Dell Community @Amirj123
Yes you can.
But as the GPU is discrete, you would need to replace the system board!!!
Sorry.

If the system has a thunderbolt port, it may be an option. However, note that these devices are not standardized -one or another may or may not work, and you will need an external monitor to use one at full speed.
If the system does not have a Thunderbolt port, then an external GPU is not going to be a practical option.

Sorry but the GPU is soldered to the system board and cannot be upgraded.

As you can see you already have the best GPU for your system.
So even upgrading the system board is not an option.
