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

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

For this test, we ran the MSI Vortex G25 through Time Spy, Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme. We have listed results for the overall score, the CPU only score, the GPU-only score and physics.

The solid overclock applied to this machine’s GTX 1070 didn’t seem to provide much benefit compared to the MSI Trident rig – it was faster in Fire Strike, but a little slower in the Extreme and Ultra tests.

The Overclockers UK machine with its tweaked AMD Ryzen processor and proper desktop graphics card proved a little quicker across the board, though, and these improvements will likely translate to a couple of extra frames in games.

The GTX 1070 Ti in the PC Specialist system opened up a wider gap in the tougher 3D Mark tests, and the Corsair and its GTX 1080 Ti opened up an even wider lead – but that’s no surprise.

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.
