MSI Aegis Ti3 Technical Features

Unboxing and design

The MSI Aegis Ti3 comes to us in a large box with a very colorful design. As usual on the cover we can identify that it is the most powerful model that exists in the Aegis Ti series. While in the back we have all the main technical characteristics and its compatibility with virtual reality glasses.

Once we open the box we find inside:

The MSI Aegis Ti3 It is an excellent pre-assembled desktop computer in which MSI has put all its love as usual in all products.

Its design can be defined as aggressive and very careful lines, where its dimensions of 195 x 510 x 506 mm and a weight of 19.9 KG stand out. Both sides incorporate a small translucent window that will shed light when turned on. The truth is that the design is Spectacular, but very plastic for the price it has.

It equips an internal power supply with a power of 850 W certified with 80 PLUS Platinum, more than enough to handle such equipment. On the back of the MSI Aegis Ti3 we find all the different ports of the I / O panel of the motherboard, we detail it below:

2 x USB 2.06 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type A1 x HDMI out1 x HDMI in5 x OFC Audio jacks1 x S / PDIF2 x WiFi1 x RJ45 LAN1 x PS / 2

Components and interior

It is quite easy to access the equipment, we just have to remove the 4 main screws (2 for each window) and we already have access to the main components.

It is a very powerful team to run video games thanks to a configuration based on two Nvidia GTX 1080 8GB graphics card that has shown to have excellent behavior with both virtual glasses and games in games of all kinds of resolution. The graphics cards are accompanied by an advanced and very powerful quad-core Intel Core i7 7700k processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture at frequencies of 3.8 GHz in base mode and 4.4 GHz in turbo mode. Along with the processor we find 64 GB of DDR4 SO-DIMM memory signed by Samsung in a dual chanel configuration, which are already fully occupied.

The storage is provided by a combination of 512 GB of SSD NVMe technology in RAID 0 and a 3 TB mechanical disk, with this you can enjoy all the benefits of flash storage without giving up the high capacity of the mechanical disks. For example, you can leave the Windows 10 operating system installed with the main applications on the SSD and heavy games, applications on the mechanical hard drive.

We leave you a rear view of the right window. In it we can see how it allows us to update with up to three 2.5 ″ hard drives and we have access to remove the 120 mm liquid cooling.

As connectivity it has a Killer E2500 network card, a Killer AC 1435 Combo wireless card with Bluetooth 4.1. The truth is that all its set is very complete and interesting. The team presents an advanced lighting system made up of several RGB LED strips that can be configured in a very simple way by applying MSI.

Benchmark and tests at stake

We have the MSI software that allows us to make a wide variety of adjustments throughout the equipment, including lighting, fan control or loading profiles. All very well accomplished, intuitive and simple. Well well! We have not been disappointed with its two Plextor drives in RAID 0 that make a total of 512 GB with NVMe interface. Obtaining quite low write rates of + 2000 MB / s and a reading higher than +1600 MB / s.

To test the overall performance of the team we have used two resolution settings: 1920 x 1080 (FullHD) and 2560 x 1440p (2k) with the titles we have in our test bench. We know that testing games is much more realistic than a thousand and a thousand benchmark tests that often mess you up more. Without further ado, let's look at the gaming performance table.

Temperatures and consumption

The temperatures of the equipment are totally the expected ones with a temperatures of 36 ºC at rest and 75 ºC at maximum power with respect to the processor. The graphics cards as they are personalized models are found at 37ºC and a maximum temperature of 78ºC.

Consumption is up to the expectations set with 97 W at rest and 481 W at full capacity throughout the team. The results are really good and are expected on a system with Intel Kaby Lake processors and Nvidia Pascal graphics card.

Final words and conclusion on MSI Aegis Ti3

The MSI Aegis Ti3 is an outstanding high-performance PC, since it serves us both to work and to play. Its specifications speak for themselves: i7-7700K, 64GB of RAM in SO-DIMM, two 8GB GDDR5X GTX 1080 graphics cards, 3TB of mechanical hard drive, 512GB in RAID 1 and an 80 PLUS 850W Platinum power supply..

In our tests it has matched all the tested resolutions: Full HD, 2K and 4K with Ultra filters. Also the read rates of more than 3000 MB / s and a heart attack writing… makes it a super fast computer. But of course, if one of the SSD drives fails, we will lose all the information, since it is a RAID 0. So keep an eye on it.

We recommend reading the best PC Gaming configuration.

We really liked the software that incorporates the proprietary MSI and its RGB lighting with various profiles. 100% recommendable.

Its price in Spanish stores is 4269 euros, a really high price considering that it includes two 8GB GTX 1080 in SLI. There is a version with a single GTX 1080 that comes out for 2799 euros and with a GTX 1070 SLI for 3499 euros. Without a doubt it is a PC of the highest quality but it has a very high price, we are sure that MSI will soon release a version with a single Nvidia GTX 1080 Ti. We look forward to trying it!
