Which MSI Gaming PC is Right For You? Three Systems Tested!

Performance

While the first two systems “make do” with the RTX 2060 Ti, there’s a distinct advantage for the MSI MEG Aegis Ti5 with its RTX 3090, which is a lot more expensive, but as you can see, that is one seriously powerful system in comparison to most systems, not just the Trident A and Codex 5.

Overall though, the Trident A and Codex 5 still pack a punch. While the models I have differ in terms of CPU, storage, and memory configurations, their GPU is broadly similar.

Things do change in the latest benchmarks though, as the Codex 5 is the more cost-effective solution here, and that does start to show in the performance. The game still runs great, I might add, but the Trident A and Ti5 just ran it better.

While this is a good graphics test, it’s quite CPU bound too, which is why the Codex 5 is just a little behind. However, I think the similar performance of those systems is interesting given their wildly different designs. The Ti5… yeah, that’s just stupidly fast.

The Trident A is shown to be a great choice for gaming, despite its compact size. The more potent hardware in the system is letting that RTX 2060 ti stretch its legs a little better, making it a good choice for both 1080p and even 1440p gaming, without breaking the bank. the Aegis Ti5 is suitable for high frame rate or high-resolution gaming, perhaps even both if you fancy it.

Sid Meier’s Civilization 6

A great benchmark is Civ 6 as it offers both a GPU and a CPU bound test, but both stretch the limits of memory speeds, and CPU anyway, as can be seen here, with the Trident A flying ahead of the Codex 5 with a much lower 99% average frame time, and again in the AI test, just edging out a lead once again. The Aegis dominates with its next-gen CPU and GPU combo showing you what a lot of extra money can get you.
