Recently MSI launched their own brand GTX 1060 graphics card. It might be the best selling GPU this year and of course the MSI Gaming Desktop Aegis will come out with this Gaming beast too.
So today I’m going to introduce MSI Aegis with MSI GTX 1060 Armor to you guys.
2 Let’s talk about GPU first. Comparing with the GTX 960 Armor, there is a lot of difference between these two generations. As you can see in the below photos, the design is different. The GTX 1060 has bigger dual fans and a dispersion Fan Blade. That combo will increase airflow to the cooling system.

GTX 1060 Armor is a bit bigger than GTX 960, almost 300 mm.

Also GTX 1060 armor is more aggressive. In my opinion, it looks like the front of Lamborghini car :-). Keeping the Gaming spirit in every product is the key for MSI to be number 1 in Gaming.
