GT80 Titan SLI - pushing back technological boundaries in new and exciting ways

Another GT80 review to share with you guys, this one's from the UK media, the Eurogamer.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-msi-gt80-titan-sli-review
How can you not want it? I am saving my piggy bank to get myself one of this cool stuff.
Quote "There's clearly a market for products like this - as niche as it may be - and when you physically have the GT80 Titan SLI in your possession, you can kind of see why...., this PC is pushing back technological boundaries in new and exciting ways. It crams an almost absurd amount of performance into a relatively portable form factor, while the upgradability and the superb keyboard make it feel like a special, one of a kind product. Its sheer insanity may justifiably stupefy the majority of the PC audience, but for that tiny, affluent niche this machine was made for, its charms may well prove irresistible."

GT80 Titan SLI Awarded Editors' Choice by Computer Shopper

The GT80 Titan SLI review is out from Computer Shopper, giving the Titan their Editor’s Choice Award! This beast of machine really out-performs the competition and re-defines the standards of a true desktop replacement notebook .
Read more: http://www.computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/msi-gt80-titan-sli#review-body
Pros:
•   Cherry-switch keyboard (a laptop first)
•   Clever touch pad placement and numeric-keypad implementation
•   Field-leading SLI gaming graphics
•   Above-average upgradeability
Quotes:
•   “MSI knows gamers, to be sure, and the Titan SLI was designed to max out the gaming power in a semi-portable form factor. And where it does compromise, it does so wisely.”
•   “In that curious mixture of overkill and restraint, MSI succeeded with the GT80 Titan SLI, in its own way: You can’t buy a gaming laptop remotely like it from anyone else, and the graphics power for gaming—both on the 1080p screen and with external displays—is unparalleled among laptops at this writing.”
•   “Typing on the GT80 Titan SLI keyboard was unlike any other laptop typing experience we’ve had, with very deep travel and quiet action as we typed.”
•   “When we tested Nvidia’s desktop reference video card for the GeForce GTX 980, we attained a score of 10,803 in our 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark test. The dual GTX 980M SLI arrangement here rang up at 13,027 with the SLI running at full tilt, beating what we saw from the full desktop GTX 980 card by a goodly margin.”
•   “Beyond the impressive networking mix, the audio subsystem is also a standout.”
•   “There’s simply nothing else like it on the market today.”

GT80 Titan SLI: Graphics performance

It’s not without reason we make a lot of noise about the GT80 Titan SLI – we’re immensely proud of all its unique features, not to mention the fact that it’s our most high-performing system, and probably the fastest gaming notebook out there. We can rant and rave about the keyboard for weeks (and we have done, internally), but in the end, it’s down to performance figures… Something we thought we’d share with you.
You will not have missed the fact that we’re using two NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M with 8GB each, in SLI, leading to… Well, see for yourself, below.
In general, the SLI solution in the GT80 gives a performance boost of more than 60% compared to a single GTX 980M, as found in our GT72, or for that matter in a lot of other high-end notebooks. For example, this solution scores noticeably higher in 3DMark Fire Strike than an overclocked GeForce Titan desktop system – just to give you an idea of what kind of powerhouse the GT80 really is.

GT80 Titan SLI – the keyboard

Just revealed at CES earlier this month is the all-new MSI GT80 Titan SLI – the world’s first gaming notebook with a mechanical keyboard. We’ve spoken about it at length at the launch itself, and it is pretty eye-catching, so it didn’t go unnoticed even for the most battle-hardened media visiting.
In any case – you know about the GT80 Titan SLI, it comes with dual 980M graphics and high-power CPUs, but the party piece is its mechanical keyboard. For now, we’re offering the GT80 with Cherry MX Brown switches, but for the future, there might be different offerings, such as MX Red.
The reasons we’ve chosen the Brown switches can be seen on the picture above. Cherry itself positions it as an “advanced gaming switch”, and being a gaming notebook, it’s a bit of a no-brainer. It is also a silent solution, unlikely to upset anyone unnecessarily.

GT80 Titan SLI testimonials and awards

If we were to liken the MSI Gaming notebook lineup to weapons, the GE62 would probably be a SCAR, the GT72 a Minimi while the GT80 Titan would probably best be represented by an M1 Abrams tank.
Despite the war related talk, our relations with media when talking to the GT80 Titan has been very calm and peaceful – maybe thanks to all the nice things they keep saying about it once they’ve gotten their hands on it. Below follows a few excerpts from GT80 reviews around the world.
“We’ve never laid eyes (or fingers) on a gaming laptop quite like the GT80. With awesome SLI gaming power, a huge screen, and a true mechanical keyboard, this mega-machine sets a new standard of dream machine—so long as you don’t have to carry it very far.” – Computer Shopper http://www.computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/msi-gt80-titan-sli/(page)/5#product-review
“With its face-melting performance, a fantastic mechanical keyboard and upgrade-friendly chassis, the MSI GT80 Titan SLI is the gaming laptop to beat.”
-   Laptop Magazine
http://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/msi-gt80-titan-sli-gaming-laptop
“It’s easy to see why we’re so impressed; GT80 Titan SLI is outstanding in many ways, it pushes the boundaries for all-out mobile performance and achieves this while delivering a catalogue of innovative features.”
-   Vortez

With a bunch more GT80s out for review duties with media currently, we’re expecting more nice words shortly.

can not agree more

GT80 Titan SLI modularity

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.
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 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.

Mechanical Keyboard !!! The first brand to issue this feature, MSI really cares about gamer's need~~

Extreme Ultra MSI GT80 Titan (PC Custom, UK)

ANOTHER AWARD for MSI GT80 Titan!
It can be my so-called Dream Gaming Notebook, which means that I wont have the budget to buy this one yet there will always be a place in my heart for this model. I salute MSI for making this product a reality.
The reason I put this article here is evil. Yes, I am guilty hahahahah!
Just like purchasing luxury bags or jewelries, I dont have money for it but I shall try every possible ways to convince my friends to make the purchase. It's like I've done the research and have bought the product (just not with my money )
okay, lets get down to business!
The editor from PC Custom, Mike Jennings, commented that the MSI GT80 Titan "Incredible speed, high-quality ergonomics, a decent design and a top-notch screen."
Here are some highlights of this article
• No compromise when it comes to keyboard quality - it's as snappy and solid as the best desktop units
• The smooth touchpad's two buttons are light and snappy, and the surface doubles as a numeric keypad
• The GT80 has one of the beefiest laptop specifications we've seen
• MSI includes a bespoke backpack, metal tin that includes five gold keys, wrist rest & mouse mat
• There's no disputing the GT80's gaming ability.
• The high-end storage undeniably helps
• The chassis didn't overheat and the noise wasn't too bad
• The speakers are good too, providing a surprising amount of volume and rich bass
• The top-spec GT80 is still as good as it gets
• A whopping 32GB of RAM is supplied with the top spec

Yes it has been designed thoughtfully for DIY users if they wish to upgrade those gears in the future.

What is the difference in these two Titan GT80's?
Theirs a $400 difference but I have no idea what is different,
I'm planning on buying it sometime but don't want to pay $400 for something that is exactly the same as the other at a lower price but if the one GT80 is better I'd be willing to pay the difference, Heres the link...You may have to copy and paste as I don't know how to make a link properly,

Hi DarnedNut,
Both models at your link look identical. I've seen this kind of thing before where a vendor lists the same product twice by accident, each with a different price. My guess is one is an older listing that they forgot to delete when they created the newer one.
I've bought a lot of stuff from Newegg and continue to use them. But I'm cautious with them because I've seen them make these kind of mistakes before and I'd hesitate to place such a big purchase with them because of it.
My company purchased its GT80 Titan-001 from Xotic PC of Lincoln, Nebraska. The GT80 Titan-009 that you're interested in is way over-priced at Newegg. They are asking more than MSI's own MSRP! That seems like gouging to me.
Here is the listing for the exact same computer at Xotic PC: http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt80-titan009-980m-sli-bbackorderb-p-7869.html. Their price is US$3699.00 which is almost $501 less than the best price at Newegg!!! Xotic PC has outstanding support and I highly recommend them. (And I'm not affiliated with them in any way and will receive no benefit from this recommendation.)
Plus, Xotic PC will customize the GT80 in a variety of ways, if you desire. We had them move the two 128 GB M.2 SSDs from slots 1-2 to slots 3-4 and install two new 512 GB M.2 SSDs from Micron to slots 1-2. We also had them downgrade the OS to Windows 7 Ultimate using one of our unused licenses. And they configured two custom RAID arrays to our specification. They did an excellent job.
Kind regards, David

Re: GT80 Titan SLI - pushing back technological boundaries in new and exciting ways

I think GT80 is the best keyboard over all notebooks, this great result shows it's also the best gaming performance over all notebooks as well!

PC Gamer give GT80 Titan a high score of 85

Quotes:
• Where MSI really went bold was with its keyboard and trackpad. Eschewing the chiclet-style keys found on so many mobile systems, MSI implements a red-backlit SteelSeries mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. It takes some getting used to, but the light actuation force is ideal for fast-paced action. And they sound so satisfying clicking away.
• The GT80 Titan has a great build quality. It sports a black brushed aluminum lid with red highlights that match the keyboard’s lighting. A thickness measurement of almost two inches creates plenty of room for exhaust vents on the sides and back.
• …the GT80 Titan SLI-001 is a purpose-built powerhouse. Its graphics hardware easily drives the 18.4” PLS panel at 1920x1080 using the top settings in any game you choose, almost begging for a 4K screen or three panels in Surround.
• You’ll either love or hate the SteelSeries mechanical keyboard. We began our review apprehensive, but quickly learned to love the clicky key presses in the notebook chassis.
• Best of all, MSI gives you access to its guts through a removable panel secured by a couple of screws. Getting to a notebook’s serviceable parts has never been easier...

Any word on GT80 Titan release?

I'm really curious to know approximately when the GT80 Titan will be released. Is there any information on this? Google search only came up with websites announcements back in October predicting it would be released near the end of 2014, last year. Soon? Are we talking a month, couple months, 6 months+, end of 2015? It would be really nice to know so I can plan my new laptop purchase, my current one is getting old. Thanks.

Yeah today Newegg reviewed it on their youtube channel, and put it up on their website for a release date of Jan 14th.
$3,299.
I was hoping they'd have a model around $2500 at most. Still beats Alienware.

I'm surprised at your "product name". I have a GT80 2QE also and mine is the GT80 Titan SLI-001 with the Haswell i7-4720HQ. Why would MSI give you...

Are you able to test different mouse and keyboard?
I still don't see how having 3 of the same sticks would affect the drivers.
Yes ...

Upgrading MSI gt 72 with GTX 980m SLI

Hello,
I bought MSI GT72 Dominator-216(GTX 970m 6GB), can I upgrade my laptop with GTX 980m SLI. Is it possible. What is the max update I can apply on my laptop graphics.
Thank you in advance.

Quote from: Victoria's Secret on 06-May-15, 16:28:37
The vga is welded on motherboard. You had better contact service center for help .
This is horribly incorrect misinformation, the vga of the gt72 laptop is mxm modular so it can be upgraded, however this laptop is not capable of sli as the laptop is not physically designed to hold two graphics cards. The gt80 is the laptop that has the 980m/970m sli already.
