The MSI Aegis R2 14th follows an ATX form factor design, measuring 493 mm in height, 231 mm in width, and 482 mm in depth, with a total volume of 54891.606 cm³. For storage, it includes a 2000GB NVMe SSD, combining high capacity with fast read and write access typical of the NVMe interface.
The graphics card features 12GB of GDDR6X VRAM across a 192-bit memory bus, with an effective memory speed of 21000 MHz and a maximum memory bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The GPU runs at a base clock of 1980 MHz and boosts up to 2480 MHz, delivering 35.48 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 554.4 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 198 GPixel/s. Built on a 5 nm process with 35800 million transistors, it includes 7168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. The card connects via PCIe 4.0 and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, and is capable of driving up to four displays simultaneously with multi-display technology enabled. It supports ray tracing, DLSS, stereoscopic 3D, and double precision floating point, while LHR and RGB lighting are not present on this model.
The processor runs at a base configuration of 8 cores at 2.1 GHz and 12 cores at 1.5 GHz, with a turbo clock speed reaching up to 5.4 GHz via Turbo Boost version 2, and a clock multiplier of 21. It supports multithreading across 28 threads in total and is fully 64-bit compatible, with a maximum rated temperature of 100 °C. Cache resources include 28 MB of L2 and 33 MB of L3, providing ample headroom for data-intensive tasks. The processor does not include integrated graphics and does not feature an unlocked multiplier.
In standardized benchmark testing, the system scores 16601 in Geekbench 6 multi-core and 2730 in the single-core test, reflecting the processor's threading capability alongside its per-core performance. PassMark results follow a similar pattern, with an overall score of 43697 and a single-core score of 4300.
The system is equipped with 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at a speed of 6000 MHz, offering a solid combination of capacity and memory bandwidth for demanding workloads and multitasking scenarios.
Wireless connectivity covers a wide range of standards, including Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) alongside Wi-Fi 6E, Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4, complemented by Bluetooth 5.3. On the wired side, a single RJ45 port handles network connections. The USB layout includes four USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port; USB 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 are not present. Display output is handled by three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI 2.1 port, with no DVI or VGA connectors included. An S/PDIF out port is available for digital audio, though there is no 3.5 mm headset jack.
The desktop CPU sits in an LGA 1700 socket and is compatible with a range of chipsets including B760, H770, Z790, H610, H670, B660, and Z690. It employs big.LITTLE technology, carries a 220W TDP, and supports instruction sets covering MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, along with NX bit support. Memory configuration allows for up to 192GB across two channels, with a maximum supported RAM speed of 5600 MHz and ECC memory support included. The GPU is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, and the system supports Intel Resizable BAR. An HDMI output is present, while mini DisplayPort outputs and XeSS (XMX) are not available, and air-water cooling is not included. No USB-C ports are listed under this section, and the system comes with a 1-year warranty.
