you may also want to consider a potentially different route by going with the p870tm. SLI ready and likely to still be supported in years to come. it also has a lot of ports.

Xotic comes with a 1080.

Sure you can use the miniPCIe, but sadly you will have a massive bootleneck there

It depends on if the MiniPCIe is x1, x2, or 4x. The bottlenecks usually seem to be in the range of 80% of typical benchmarks, although that could potentially be explained by weaker laptop CPUs.  looking it up, though you'll likely not want to do that either. the p170sm doesn't have a thunderbolt port, and is essentially msata for the flash drives. what this means if you really want to do this, you'll have to lift your keyboard and run the cable underneath. to be entirely honest you'd be better looking into a 1070 or 1060 for the MXM slot. 

after some research, i found a post detailing this from another forum.

Yes the GPU is upgradeable but only with those listed in the bios whitelist. Others will not work. 

Options for 8570w are (straight from the service manual): 
NVIDIA® Quadro® K2000M (NVIDIA N14P-Q3 2GB DDR3)
NVIDIA Quadro K1000M (NVIDIA N14P-Q1 2GB DDR3)
AMD FirePro™ M4000 (Chelsea XT GL 1GB GDDR5)

so it appears it won't work.

the acid can affect the components if you use too much, but with the amounts you'll probably be using, it'll be okay.

The GT series uses MXM for MSI. If you get a chance i would recommend to pick up anything the series of or after the p157sm for clevo. You can put anything from series 6 nvidia to 10 nvidia, and i've had reasonable success with even a 5870m in my p157sm-a. that means cheap cards, and since we have working confirmation of the 10 series it's likely if any other mxm standard sized 3.0b card comes out, there will be a way for it to work in the system. personally though i'm currently using a p870dm-g. just waiting for a motherboard replacement.

Hi!

Yes of course. Check your PM box.

as it appears, i have the same vbios as the original poster of this vbios. 

could you please link me to a modified vbios?

thanks Klem!
