MSI 271QRX QD-OLED Monitor

It’s also worth giving a shout-out to the MSI 271QRX QD-OLED for being a fantastic monitor for the price. Getting the chance to see such rich colours and deep blacks makes the whole, tedious, process of benchmarking endless hardware that much more pleasant. It’s like a Swedish Massage for your eyeballs.
Clock Speeds
Just because the Sapphire X870EA Nitro+ PhantomLink is designed primarily around the ability to use the neat and tidy power connector solution doesn’t mean that it isn’t also a great platform for your Ryzen CPU. Lots of smooth power delivery giving consistent performance as we’ll see throughout our testing.
Put together the two Sapphire Nitro+ PhantomLink products make a perfect pair. We know that finances and stock levels mean that you have to be committed to get a system that matches. Sapphire prove that if you’re willing to put in the effort the aesthetic rewards are obvious.
