MSI has added the GT76 Titan and GE65 Raider to its range of gaming laptops with the latest generation of Core i9 processors and the GT76 comes with the RTX 2080 from Nvidia.
MSI is implementing this with the new "Cooler Boost Titan" cooling, which is equipped with 11 heatpipes and four fans and as such MSI will be able to boost clock of up to 5.0 GHz on all eight cores.
The copper block is CNC-milled and should be able to absorb the heat a little more efficiently. As an alternative configuration, the MSI GT76 Titan will also be available with Intel Core i7-9700K and Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070. The keyboard comes from SteelSeries and has a RGB single button lighting. With "Mystic Light RGB" in addition, the bottom and back of the laptop is illuminated. The display is 17.3 inches tall and is available as a FullHD panel with 144Hz or 4K UHD panel.
The RAM can be equipped with up to 128 GB via four modules, for the internal memory are three M.2 PCIe 3.0 NVMe slots in the Super Raid available. Even a 2.5 inch SATA hard disk can be used. The new WiFi 6 standard (802.11ax) , which is integrated in the Killer AX1650 WLAN module, ensures fast data transfers, also to be possible via Ethernet in the Killer E3000, MSI speaks of up to 2.5 Gbit/s.

The new MSI GT76 Titan will be available from July for € 3,499 (RRP) . However, it is not clear which variant it is. With Intel Core i9-9900K, the notebook could be a good deal more expensive again.
