International Review By Hardwareluxx on September 22, 2016

Wer bislang mit dem MSI Aegis geliebäugelt hat, sich aber nicht mit der NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 zufriedengeben wollte, für den gibt es mit dem MSI Aegis X nun das richtige Modell. Dank der deutlich schnelleren GeForce GTX 1080 und der flotteren,...
