Is a laptop GPU the same as a desktop GPU?
Functionally, they are essentially the same thing, scaled down due to the power requirements of desktop parts; a high end desktop video card can need more than 300w, and that is hard to power and even harder to cool in a laptop.

The GTX 1060 will fit in a standard ATX case, as it can be expected to be as big as the 1070/1080. If you want to use both your GPUs for Gaming at the same time, they have to be of the same type and support SLI – in other words, you will have to replace the 760.
