Nvidia is really cagey about what the let vendors do with their gpus, they had one ~~hot~~ swappable concept years ago and it never went anywhere because they basically didn't allow them to do anything with it. So this actually making it I to a product is crazy
Edit: not hot swappable, just swappable, please turn your PC off first lmao
Afaik, the gpu is swappable, not hot-swappable and modular nvidia gpus are not a new thing. Older gaming laptops used to have the gpu as a daughter board.
You're right, mixed up my terminology
