Not only is the name quote quite a mouthful, so is the design. It looks eerily similar to a robot head with a “Gaming Dial” right in front. The OLED panel will allow gamers to scroll between different modes to adjust the gaming performance of the desktop. MSI says that the Ti5 is the world’s first 5G-compatible desktop. Apart from that, it packs in an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card from MSI and the latest Intel Core i9 processor.
