Every manufacturer has similar categories of products with Performance/Gaming consoles, and this is not surprising. Fans of video games often buy just such motherboards and video cards for a combination of affordable prices, excellent functionality and simplicity. The principle of "no bullshit" is revealed in them in the best way ― if you don't know what to buy for a gaming computer, take a Gaming board and you won't lose.


The priority of the MSI Performance Gaming series is quality and reliability: even the simplest models for more than a hundred dollars allow you to install a fast 8-core processor, a powerful graphics card, 16 – 32 GB of high-speed RAM, as well as create a disk array of several SSDs and HDD.

The overclocking capabilities of MSI Performance Gaming are also quite decent. Most boards are equipped with high-quality batteries with efficient cooling, they have XMP support on board and useful features like auto reset settings in case of an unsuccessful selection of parameters. The result will be a very decent gaming computer capable of small feats.

The main thing is not to get caught on frankly outdated models with H110―level chipsets with overclocking options blocked. They do not occur often, but still. And so, the most popular in the MSI Performance Gaming assortment are mid-level motherboards based on the AMD B450 chipset. They are followed by more serious variants based on AMD X470 chips. In general, AMD's dominance over Intel products is visible in this series.
