Benchmarks: Gaming
A GeForce GTX 1070 is in our estimation a fine fit for a 1080p display, and MSI's implementation works perfectly well, as evidenced by a 97.8 per cent pass rate in the Time Spy Stress Test.
We've run a selection of modern games and in the above graphs the orange bar represents framerate at the native full-HD resolution, while the blue bars highlight QHD and UHD potential via an external monitor.
4K is a step too far, and while there's enough horsepower to drive games on a QHD display, we reckon gaming looks best with G-Sync enabled at the native FHD resolution. The experience is as smooth as a baby's backside.
