Well, Slizza1 - the question is not quite so easy to answer. I think sending it in makes little or no sense. digitec will hardly do it for you; MSI probably won't either. I haven't "given" the DUKE a new WLP yet because I don't have the problem. That's why I can't say exactly how complicated it would be. However, I have already done this with other maps; the "tinkering" CAN - depending on the case - be somewhat demanding. If you don't think you can do it yourself, you might have an experienced friend who can do it for you. In most cases, however, it is possible without any problems

No, you don't, your processor is still strong enough for all RTX cards. You can simply add a new card to your existing setup, your graphics card will fit any motherboard from the last >10 years. Sometimes people need to upgrade their CPU, otherwise it would be too slow for the graphics card. Then they often have to upgrade their mainboard as well, because usually (not always!) a CPU from a certain generation only fits on a mainboard of the same generation. However, since your CPU is powerful enough, you don't have to change it and therefore not the mainboard either. However, keep in mind that a 2080 draws about 75-100 watts more than a 1070, so make sure that your power supply is powerful enough, i.e. that the wattage is higher than the maximum power of your system. You can find this out very quickly with an online wattage calculator: https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator. (E.g. maximum power 500W -> preferably a little leeway, i.e. a power supply unit with 650W or more).
