MSI MEG Trident X2 14th: High-end computer with Core i9 and 4090

The matte finish ensures a sleek look

The housing of MEG Trident X2 14th is compact and elegant, the design is closely based on its predecessor. However, the look has been slightly adjusted in some places. MSI depends on one Mostly matte black surface, which ensures a significantly more high quality and mature look. The front is accented by an RGB strip, whose color can be adjusted in the MSI center. Also, the look is rounded off by a MEGtotem and a gold MSI logo

This is in front HMI 2.0 Touch Display, which enables intuitive control of the system. It can be used to view system status and adjust performance. The MSI Gaming Monitor can be controlled via the Gaming Intelligence function. Supported features include Smart Crosshair, Optics Scope and Night Vision.

Intel Core i9-14900KF: Raptor Lake Refresh Inside

the heart MSI MEG Trident X2 14th new one Intel Core i9-14900KF, Intel’s current processor flagship. Like its predecessor, the Raptor Lake Refresh CPU has 8 performance cores (P-Core) and 16 efficiency cores (E-Core). In comparison, however, the clock speed was increased by 200 MHz each, so that now a P-core Can clock up to 6 GHz. Such high clock speeds were previously reserved for the Intel Core i9-13900KS.

It is known for cooling Silent Storm Cooling 3 System responsible, where airflow is optimized through individual chambers. The CPU is cooled by an AiO water cooling system with a 240 mm radiator so that the processor can develop its full performance. Also, MSI’s Frozr AI system is used here, which can rely on several sensors in the housing. Fan speed is automatically adjusted to current temperature and performance using AI algorithms. The graphics card also benefits from an air duct design that concentrates cooling air and helps dissipate heat.

DDR5 memory up to 5,200 MHz

MSI also serves up a decent chunk of RAM: overall 64 GB DDR5 RAM Up to 5,200 MHz is available here. However, only two of the four RAM slots are occupied, meaning that the RAM capacity can be doubled later. Modern AAA games can also be installed on the 2 terabyte M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD.

Gaming-beast meets RTX 4090

To match the fastest CPU from Intel, MSI installs the fastest gaming GPU from Nvidia. One comes clearly MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Ventus 3X E 24G used, which is based on the AD102-300 “Ada Lovelace” chip. The GPU offers 16,384 ALUs, which together achieve a computing performance of 84.06 TFLOPs. Also, graphics chip is available 24 GB GDDR6X-videospeaker from the side.

Ultimately, the RTX 4090 offers one Brutal graphics performance For high resolution games and ray tracing effects as well as creative applications. Even performance-hungry AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 run above 160 FPS with UHD and DLSS on this beast – it can hardly be smoother. Even future games shouldn’t be a problem for the Trident X2 14.

The computer also achieved top results in synthetic benchmarks. in Cinebench R23 A single-core score of 2,287 points was achieved, while multi-core achieved 36,920. The total score in the 3DMark TimeSpy benchmark is 31,667 points, while in TimeSpy Extreme it is 17,685 points. This means that the new generation is a bit faster than its predecessor.

Software

Computers are distributed with Windows 11 Pro, although some programs are already pre-installed. This includes MSI Center, which offers some customization options. Here you can select different performance profiles, view CPU and GPU usage and adjust RGB lighting. Driver updates are easily downloaded through the software.

Available in different variants

MSI offers MEG Trident X2 14th in different versions. The new top model with i9-14900KF and RTX 4090 changes hands for just under 6,000 euros. If you don’t want to dig that deep into your pocket, you can find cheaper options with the Intel Core i7-14700KF. The processor here is combined with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070Ti or RTX 4080. Outwardly, the different versions are indistinguishable from each other.
