For this test, we ran the MSI Vortex G25 through Time Spy, Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme. We have listed results for the overall score, the CPU only score, the GPU-only score and physics.

The solid overclock applied to this machine’s GTX 1070 didn’t seem to provide much benefit compared to the MSI Trident rig –  it was faster in Fire Strike, but a little slower in the Extreme and Ultra tests.

The Overclockers UK machine with its tweaked AMD Ryzen processor and proper desktop graphics card proved a little quicker across the board, though, and these improvements will likely translate to a couple of extra frames in games.

The GTX 1070 Ti in the PC Specialist system opened up a wider gap in the tougher 3D Mark tests, and the Corsair and its GTX 1080 Ti opened up an even wider lead – but that’s no surprise.
