msi interceptor ds b1 h01-0001711 review

The Infinite ships with MSI's Interceptor DS4200 gaming keyboard, which is pretty basic but at least better than the generic office peripherals that accompany many gaming PCs. The Infinite scored 16,237 on the Geekbench 4 overall performance test, coming up a bit short of the Corsair One (17,755 Core i7-7700K) and our 16,661 average. MORE: The Best PC Games to Play Right Now The desktop never slowed down or got noticeably noisy no matter what combination of tasks I threw at it, even as I bounced among more than a dozen browser tabs, streamed six YouTube and Twitch videos at once, and downloaded a game from Steam. Overall Performanceįeaturing an Intel Core i7-7700 processor and 16GB of RAM, the Infinite is just as apt at multitasking as it is at playing games. That tops both the Corsair (5,032) and the Alienware Aurora (4,9), as well as our 5,008 gaming-PC average. On the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra test, which gauges 4K performance, the Infinite racked up a score of 5,231. That ties the Corsair One, and tops our 10.4 average. The MSI Infinite has more than enough muscle for virtual reality, maxing out the SteamVR Performance Test with a score of 11. Again, that trails the Corsair One (72 fps) by just a bit while topping our 29-fps average. On the more graphically intense Rise of the Tomb Raider (1080p, max settings), the Infinite rendered Lara Croft and her snowy surroundings at 64.7 fps. When we cranked things up to 4K, the Infinite turned in a very impressive 65.8 fps. MSI's desktop ran the stylish stealth action of Hitman (1080p, max settings) at a supersmooth 123 frames per second, barely trailing the Corsair One (129 fps, GTX 1080) and topping our 86-fps desktop average.
