The 3DMark Time Spy score is right where we'd expect it to be. Nvidia's GeForce GTX 1060 is a fine choice for 1080p gaming, but tends to be used in more affordable systems. Said GPU makes sense in a £999 Infinite A 8th, but at £1,399 you'd be forgiven for expecting a GTX 1070 as standard.

Playing games on the MSI desktop is for the most part fluent at an ubiquitous 1080p resolution, but that's about the limit. Modern titles will struggle at a higher resolution, and you may need to drop image quality settings a notch or two in order to achieve the desired 60 frames per second.
