Clock Speeds

The MSI Expert finds itself in the middle of our graph in raw clock speed terms. As you’ll soon see, that doesn’t remotely tell the whole story. High frame rates aren’t only found in Megahertz ratings. Not that the Expert is by any means disgraced in this graph, just that it performs much higher than you might guess just from this image.
