Simulated Performance Metrics

I've included a couple benchmarks to give you a general idea of the maximum performance the MSI NIghtblade MI2 is capable of. I chose both 3DMark and PCMark8 since such results are widely available anywhere, including Futuremark's own extensive database of results. Since the MSI Nightblade is sold as a barebones unit, the ultimate in performance is up to what parts you decide to install, but my choice of having the most powerful configuration possible does at least push the Nightblade to the extreme it is expected to be placed under. I am very happy to report that it exceeded my expectations in that regard. So much so that it still sits on my desk for gaming purposes. It offers great value for its cost and does everything MSI advertises it to be capable of.
