MSI, the world-leading manufacturer of Gaming motherboards, graphics-cards and All-in-Ones PCs storms CeBIT with a new line-up of Gaming products. Hardware enthusiasts and gamers will flock to MSI's new Z77 GAMING motherboards with their new distinctive looks. To complement MSI's new Gaming motherboards MSI will also display a new concept of graphics cards that match the striking looks of the new gaming motherboards. CeBIT 2013 will also be the first opportunity to touch MSI's new AG2712, world's first Gaming All-in-One. 2013 is an exciting year in the computer industry and MSI has reserved a spot in the driver's seat, as can be seen on CeBIT 2013.



A new line of motherboards
CeBIT 2013 is the first unveiling of MSI's new Gaming motherboards. A lineup created for and by gamers designed to offer exactly what gamers need without being limited to exorbitant price levels. MSI's Gaming motherboards will range in features and price to suit every gamers' need with better Audio features, the best Gaming network chip on the market and an all-out optimized third generation motherboard for the Intel 7 series chipset . Gamers can blindly trust MSI Gaming to offer the best Gaming networking chip with the latest Killer E2200 chip to accelerate and prioritize their gaming traffic.

For high-end desktops MSI showcases its new X79A-GD45 Plus, popular MiniITX models, Thunderbolt equipped motherboards, AMD FM2 powerhouses and B75 business models.

Now you're Gaming with MSI
Also on display are a new class of MSI graphics card. Distinguishable by a new red color scheme on the cool Twin Frozr these graphics cards are designed to complete an all MSI gaming setup much like the record-holding Lightning graphics cards fit the Z77 MPOWER. These new graphics cards are the first addition to an MSI Gaming ecosystem, where gamers can mix and match MSI Gaming products for even better performance. You can also see MSI's latest GeForce TITAN graphics card as well as MSI's renowned line of record breaking Lightning graphics cards, the overclockers favorite pacing through the exclusive MSI Fire Strike Tech Demo in the new 3DMark.

A touch of Gaming
After successfully integrating all parts of a full-worthy gaming desktop into a massive touch-screen display, MSI proudly shows the world's first All-in-One PC for gaming enthusiasts at CeBIT: the MSI AG2712. The MSI AG2712 Gaming All-in-One PC is equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX670MX graphics card, one of the fastest, most advanced graphics cards at this moment. As more and more PC games available on app-stores and game shops are supporting movement gestures via touch, the MSI Gaming All-in-One PCs come with a multi-touch interface, even supporting 10-finger touch control. Accompanied by a 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor, an impressive 27" anti-glare display with Full HD resolution and a top-notch audio solution by THX TruStudio Pro, the MSI AG2712 will impress both casual and enthusiastic gamers with visual awe and a striking performance.

Its good for us that MSI is stepping up. Their Lightning cards are up there with the best on the market. Lightnings are better than Asus direct CUII cards. If they can transfer that quality to motherboards I would buy them no problem. Asus needs a real competitor and I think MSI can do it.

Makes sense. Usually new Twin Frozr version is launched together with new gen GPUs

atleast the Vendors should stay away from rainbow colored Mobos / GFX Cards ........
since the customers today are more ambitious

i cannot understand why they do great HW / Design and then use Green PCB's (RAM) e.g



and there are more ..... shure the vendor need to order or manufacture those pieces, but not only tech specs brings a customer to choose that Hardware, also Eye Candy as well

and i don't wanna now how much they earn since modding has come so popular

I was hoping for a change to the impeller. Saw a comparison video of different 660s and theirs sounded unpleasantly high despite reading low on the db count.

well you can't see that when it's in the slot, and it's cheaper to make it that way.

Vengeance are 1/2 price to Dominators and have similar specs

but they are ugly due green PCB

ergo 40 bucks more for the GT´s

gigabyte has blue pcb's and people buy them, but i think gfx card pcb is important too cuz it's all you see :laugh: but in this ram you can't see it, especially if it's in the case.

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
I like this too... I talked with our MSI rep at CES and he asked us what we thought of the networking solutions... I told him to save their money and use the Intel ports which are just as fast (last test I saw a couple years ago) than the Killer stuff... I THOUGHT the intel NIC was cheaper than the killer hardware as well, but, could be mistaking.

Time to reach out to get on the list!

mix and match MSI Gaming products for even better performance
Oof, marketing... Neliz... what is that about? Is that saying that by using all of these gaming components it will be faster than others without? Similar to what AMD did a couple years back with the 'dragon' platform (which offered zero benefits over the exact same specifications and differnent hardware)?

What is the release date on these?
