MSI is best known for its wide assortment of gaming laptops, and it’s looking to beef up its gaming PCs with Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake processors and Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series graphics cards.
MSI revealed three new gaming PCs: MEG Aegis Ti5 12th, MEG Trident X 12th, and Aegis RS 12th. The MEG Aegis Ti5 12th is MSI’s flagship PC, as it runs on an Intel Core i9-12900K and Nvidia RTX 3090 as well as features MSI's Silent Storm Cooling 4 system. The MEG Trident X 12th uses an Intel Core i7-12700K and an Nvidia RTX 3090, with an emphasis on cooling thanks to the Silent Storm 3 cooling system and enlarged heatsink it packs. Finally, the Aegis RS 12th is a pre-build that’s meant for easy upgrading with the potential to use up to an Intel i9-12900K and up to an Nvidia RTX 3090.
The desktops all ship with Windows 11, meaning that they have access to the new gaming features like Direct Storage and Auto HDR. Though MSI unveiled the full build details, no pricing or availability has been shared as of now.

FWIW, I bought an MSI gaming laptop six months ago with an Intel Comet Lake 10th. generation i7 CPU, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA RTX 3070 GPU, and 1 TB SSD. I am delighted with it’s performance. NVIDIA gave me a free copy of the new Outriders RPG game, a Sci Fi monster shoot-em-up on a distant planet in the not too distant future. It is a fully 360 degree 3D environment, and the enemy creatures and humans have AI built in; some of them are very tricky. The GPU is optimized for the game and it is fast framing and fluid, with beautiful high resolution graphics, enhanced by the DLSS AI software built into the GPU chip. I am quite addicted. |
