MSI Vortex G25 Review (W/ i7-8700 & GTX 1070)

Mike Jennings March 15, 2018 Featured Tech Reviews, Gaming PC, PC, Reviews

Here we test the MSI Vortex G25‘s storage performance, using CrystalDiskMark 5.1.1.

The Samsung SSD inside the G25 is an older model that returned read and write results of 546MB/s and 516MB/s. Those speeds are absolutely fine for SATA drives, and more than twice as quick as any hard disk – so the MSI certainly won’t feel sluggish.

However, proper NVMe drives will be several times quicker – like the Samsung PM961 inside the Corsair One Elite. The MSI’s SSD is not slow, but we’re still a little disappointed. We expect more from a PC that costs this much.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
