I wouldn’t blame you if you were too busy gaming to catch all the announcements out of Computex 2025 earlier this month. I flew over to the annual Taiwanese computing show to attend in person and, even two weeks later, I still feel like I haven’t fully absorbed everything that eager show exhibitors kept thrusting in front of me.

However, after digging through my mountain of photos and notes from attending, I’ve at least been able to scrape together this deeper recap on the most interesting PC gaming components and devices that category-bigwig MSI had on show.

MSI releases a retro GPU bonanza

On the GPU front, MSI gave me a sneak peek at three new GeForce RTX 50-series concept designs, each with its own distinct personality. Leading the trio is the Suprim Titanium Edition, wrapped in a sharp two-tone metal shroud that leans into an industrial-chic aesthetic. MSI says it’s not just for show, with reinforced structure and improved thermals as a key focus of the design.

Next was my pick of the bunch, the Cyclone Visual. This one brings back a classic MSI cooler design from the brand’s very early days, updated with a fun retro twist. There’s loads of exposed copper, paired with modern fans, RGB lighting, and even an LCD screen mounted into the middle of the fan.

Finally, there’s the Twin Frozr 2025, a refined take on MSI’s long-running dual-fan setup. It sticks to the familiar shape but introduces new fin geometry and airflow tweaks for quieter performance and more stable cooling under heavy loads.

MSI’s latest prebuilt desktop redefines what ‘built in monitoring LCD’ means

For those who prefer their gaming rigs ready to roll, the MEG Vision X AI desktop packs serious power into a prebuilt system. It can be configured with up to a Core Ultra 9 CPU and an RTX 5090, and it stands out with a gargantuan 13.3-inch touchscreen built right into the front panel. This display lets you monitor system temps, adjust performance modes, or even display custom animations and widgets.

MSI was very quick to point out the capable hardware inside, with high-speed DDR5 memory, blazing-fast Gen 5 storage, and beefy cooling to keep it all stable under pressure. I tend to think the case itself walks the line between sleek and aggressive pretty well, and of course it has RGB lighting that can be tweaked as another layer of personalization. I also appreciated the fully tool-free layout, which should make upgrades far easier than what most prebuilt systems allow.

MSI takes its gaming monitors to 600Hz

MSI had no shortage of new displays on show, but to me, the MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 managed to stand out thanks to one particularly smart feature: an AI Care Sensor. This tech uses real-time person detection to automatically adjust brightness and power usage depending on whether someone is actually sitting in front of the screen. It’s a pretty practical and handy way to reduce power draw when idle and helps mitigate OLED burn-in, providing real everyday benefits.

At the heart of it is an always-on CMOS sensor that captures images every 0.2 seconds, paired with an NPU-based IC that handles the detection locally. I was especially pleased to find out that all processing is done on-device in a standalone unit, so there’s no risk of your data leaving the monitor, which does help avoid any privacy concerns.

It wasn’t the only eye-catching screen I saw at the booth either. The MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 may have a similar name, but its approach is a little more grounded. It combines that vivid QD-OLED panel tech with a 240Hz refresh rate and the same 1440p resolution. That strikes a balance I think should appeal to gamers chasing performance, but without going overboard on price or pixels.
