MSI Nightblade Review

PC Mark

It is probably fitting that after a raft of benchmarks that surprise us for entirely good reasons we end on one that surprises us for all the wrong ones. PC Mark is supposed to replicate real world daily tasks and the scores alone would imply that the system is wheezy and asthmatic, barely capable of keeping up with anything at all. This is entirely the opposite of our experience actually using the system, where it was as nippy as any other we’ve run, including our bench rig. The slower SSD and lower overclock can be partly to blame, but not to this degree. Odd.
