Ultra 9 AI CPU for heavy multitasking
This system is powered by Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285, a hybrid processor with performance and efficient cores plus 36 MB of Intel Smart Cache and boost clocks up to around 5.6 GHz depending on variant. The chip is designed for AI‑assisted workloads and includes support for Intel DL Boost and modern AI software stacks, making it well suited to gaming while running background tasks such as streaming, video encoding, and AI‑enhanced creator tools. In reviews of this exact model, the Aegis R2 handles extreme multitasking and demanding content‑creation workloads without bogging down, even when games, editing software, and multiple browser windows are open together.
RTX 5070 Ti graphics for 1440p, 4K, and VR
Graphics are handled by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, a Blackwell‑generation GPU with 8,960 CUDA cores and 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256‑bit bus, delivering up to roughly 896 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Board specs show boost clocks around 2.45–2.64 GHz, positioning the 5070 Ti for ultra‑settings 1440p and very capable 4K gaming with ray tracing when paired with DLSS 4 frame generation. Reviews of the C2NVR9‑1452US configuration report smooth frame rates in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 at high settings, as well as seamless VR performance.
Fast DDR5, large SSD, and air cooling
MSI equips this Aegis R2 with 32 GB of high‑speed DDR5 RAM (around 6000 MHz), giving ample headroom for modern games, creator tools, and heavy multitasking without frequent disk swapping. Storage is provided by a 2 TB M.2 NVMe SSD, which offers very fast load times for Windows and games plus enough space for a large library of titles, applications, and project files. Cooling is handled by an air‑cooled system with multiple RGB fans, and reviewers note that the machine remains quiet and well‑controlled thermally under extended gaming and rendering loads.
Connectivity, design, and use cases
The Aegis R2 AI chassis features RGB lighting, a tempered‑glass side panel, and tidy internal cable management, making it as much a showpiece as a workhorse. Connectivity includes USB‑C on the front and rear, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs from the GPU, Wi‑Fi (often Wi‑Fi 7 in this SKU), and Bluetooth, making it “VR‑ready” and easy to hook up to modern headsets, high‑refresh monitors, and wireless peripherals. Overall, this configuration is aimed at serious gamers, streamers, and creators who want a prebuilt tower that can handle next‑gen games, VR experiences, and AI‑assisted workflows with plenty of performance in reserve
