A true gaming PC has a GAMING Graphics card

Trident 3 features a customized MSI GeForce GTX1060 GAMING graphics card in ITX format, which overthrows any ITX reference card found in other small form factor PCs. Gamers can now enjoy the best in-game performance on a console sized PC.

Ready to engage in VR

Loaded with an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor* combined with a GTX1060 graphics card, Trident 3 is ready to smoothly support the display of VR content on your VR device, such as the HTC Vive. MSI made it super easy to connect a VR headset by implementing VR Link, an HDMI-port on the front side of the system, supported by MSIs One-click-to VR software that automatically sets the system in its optimal VR settings.

Cooled perfectly with Silent Storm Cooling 2

By individually cooling the most important heat-generating hardware in the system through separated chambers, MSI found a unique way to keep the system as cool and quiet as possible. At times when performance really matters, Trident 3 is up to the task and delivers powerful gameplay without bothering gamers with noisy fans or overheated hardware.
