Seeking an RTX 2060 Replacement for My Laptop: Any Recommendations?
Hello, everyone!
As someone who has a good grasp of computer technology and upgrades, I’m on the lookout for a replacement GPU for a laptop I recently acquired. My wife received this laptop for free, and the previous owner mentioned that it has a minor issue that can be resolved with a new graphics card. Specifically, I need an RTX 2060 compatible with the model number p37E001.
I’ve been scouring my usual online retailers and tech shops, but I haven’t had much luck finding one. If you have any suggestions for where I could buy this specific GPU or if you know of any reliable sources, I would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Thank you in advance for your help!
