MSI WT73VR 7RM Mobile Workstation Review (Nvidia Quadro P5000 16GB)

We put the MSI WT73VR 7RM through a series of workstation benchmarks. For comparison, we pitted it against a Workstation Specialists WS-X143S desktop workstation with a NVIDIA Quadro P4000 graphics card fitted, and MSI's own WS63 7RK, which has NVIDIA Quadro P3000 graphics. The WS-X143S was the closest desktop system we had tests results for to compare. It's a small form factor workstation, but using desktop components rather than mobile ones, so with the same performance as larger systems.

Software:
Cinebench R15
SPECviewperf 12.1.1
CrystalDiskMark 6.0.0
Futuremark PC Mark 8 (battery test only)
