MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Motherboard Review

3DMark

3DMark is a multi-platform hardware benchmark designed to test varying resolutions and detail levels of 3D gaming performance. We run the Windows platform test and in particular the Time Spy benchmark, which is indicative of high-end 1440p PC Gaming.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider

We use the DirectX 12 mode, anti-aliasing disabled, and the Highest quality preset.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2

We run the game with quality set to Ultra, VSync disabled, and DX12 mode.

Gaming performance is solid, and the Tomahawk shows no sign of head-scratching weaknesses. ASUS’ competitors are consistently faster by small margins, but the MSI B550 MAG Tomahawk holds its own against the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Master.
