Review: MSI GT83VR 6RF Titan SLI

Benchmarks: CPU

We start with the CPU benchmarks and the GT83VR 6RF is already serving up some interesting results. The CPU in our review sample is automatically overclocked to 4.1GHz when mains powered, with the MSI Dragon Centre management software insisting on a High Performance power plan upon boot.

What's confusing is that the chip ran at speeds of around 3.6GHz during the single-threaded PiFast test, yet it remains locked at 4.0GHz for the duration of the demanding Handbrake workload.
