MSI Aegis R2 14th (i9-14900F / RTX 4070 Ti Super / 64GB RAM / 2TB SSD)

The MSI Aegis R2 14th follows an ATX form factor and measures 493 mm in height, 231 mm in width, and 482 mm in thickness, giving it a total volume of roughly 54,891 cm³. Storage is handled by a 2000GB NVMe SSD, combining generous capacity with the faster transfer speeds that the NVMe interface provides.

The graphics card delivers 44.1 TFLOPS of floating-point performance and is built on a 5 nm process node, housing 45,900 million transistors along with 8,448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. It carries 16GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1313 MHz, an effective speed of 21,000 MHz, and a maximum bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s, while the GPU itself runs at a base clock of 2340 MHz and boosts up to 2610 MHz. The card connects via PCIe 4.0 and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and OpenCL 3, and is capable of ray tracing, DLSS, double precision floating point, stereoscopic 3D, and multi-display output across up to four displays simultaneously. It produces a texture rate of 689 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s, and does not include LHR or RGB lighting.

The processor operates across 32 threads with multithreading enabled, running at base clock speeds of 8 cores at 2 GHz and 16 cores at 1.5 GHz, and reaching a turbo clock speed of 5.8 GHz via Turbo Boost version 2 with a clock multiplier of 20. It carries 32 MB of L2 cache and 36 MB of L3 cache, supports 64-bit processing, and has a maximum rated temperature of 100 °C. The CPU does not include integrated graphics and does not feature an unlocked multiplier.

In benchmark testing, the system scores 18,348 in Geekbench 6 multi-core and 2,860 in the single-core equivalent, reflecting the processor's threaded and per-core capabilities respectively. On the PassMark suite, it achieves an overall score of 47,100 with a single-core result of 4,466, while the graphics-focused PassMark G3D test returns a score of 31,767.

The system is equipped with 64GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6000 MHz, providing a substantial amount of memory alongside the higher clock speeds characteristic of the DDR5 standard.

Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) along with Wi-Fi 6E, 6, 5, and 4, complemented by Bluetooth 5.3. 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; there are no USB 4, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, Thunderbolt 3, or Thunderbolt 4 ports. For display output, the system provides three DisplayPort outputs and one HDMI 2.1 port, with no DVI or VGA connectors present. Wired networking is handled by a single RJ45 port, and audio connectivity includes an S/PDIF out port, 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, while employing big.LITTLE technology and supporting instruction sets such as MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, along with an NX bit. The processor carries a TDP of 285W and supports up to 192GB of memory across two channels, with a maximum rated RAM speed of 5600 MHz and ECC memory support. The GPU is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and the system features Intel Resizable BAR, an HDMI output, and no mini DisplayPort outputs or USB-C ports. Air-water cooling and XeSS (XMX) are not present, and the system comes with a one-year warranty.
