Can I install the RTX 3060 of my Acer Nitro 5 in my Asus FX503VD?
Hey there gamers

My motherboard died of my Nitro 5..
So I was wondering If I could install my RTX 3060 in my older Asus FX503VD.
Thanks in advance.

Of course you can connect your graphics card to your older computer, but you must check if the PSU is powerful enough and provides the PCIe connector for the extra power. Also I don't know if the card will run at its full potential or a little slower because of the older and slower hardware. At least it will have better performance than your previous graphics card.

Oops! My bad, I didn't check what these models were. I thought we were talking about desktop computers. However, you might actually CAN do that if both laptops have discreet graphics cards that can be removed and IF they are of the same type of connection.

The GPUs might be swappable if both machines had discrete ones as
MXMs .
I'm not certain, but a quick glance at the motherboard for the Asus FX503VD suggest that it does not.

Unfortunately I am not familiar with discrete laptop graphics cards. I always owned entry or mid-range laptops with onboard graphics. I could not afford the high-end ones. However it's worth checking if the cards are indeed swappable.

Yes, all of the notebooks I've worked on are older, more pedestrian models. So I have not yet seen a MXM chip in the wild.
