MSI Vortex G65VR 6RE GTX 1070 SLI Gaming PC Review

Synthetic Benchmarks

PC Mark 8

In PC Mark 8, the system achieves a respectable score and can easily contend with common desktop tasks including photo editing, streaming, teleconferencing and web browsing. Interestingly, the MSI Vortex G65VR 6RE falls behind a GTX 1060 powered system which raised some questions. Saying that, the benchmark doesn’t appear to differentiate too much between a number of high-end rigs and the CPU’s 4.0GHz clock speed may be a contributing factor to the ranking order.

3DMark

As expected, the system’s extraordinary graphics horsepower flourishes throughout the 3DMark application and outclasses a discrete GTX 1080 by a considerable margin. This is especially the case when running the synthetic benchmark at higher resolutions. Overall, it’s a wonderful showing and emphasises how powerful SLI configurations can be when the support is there.
