The GT80 Titan SLI is both a successor as well as an improvement on the GT72 in many ways. Obviously, it’s a completely new design, and the two don’t have much in common, but in one critical aspect, it shares the possibility to be upgraded in the future. The GT72 comes with a replaceable MXM graphics card, while the GT80 takes this a couple of steps further by pretty much full modularity – even the CPU is a PGA type.
The placement of the keyboard means you can remove the somewhat unusual large top cover with two screws and access HDDs, ODD and the M.2 2280 type SSDs (all slots clearly numbered).
Through the bottom you can access the dual GTX 980M GPUs and the CPU as well as the RAM. Another unusual feature is a ribbon cable running between the graphics cards – this is the SLI bridge.
As you can see then, we’re building on the GT72 upgradability DNA, but make it even easier for those who go for the top-of-the-line offering.
