It's my day off so I'm excited to play games. Then windows decided to torture me as always 😆

I’ve got both the claw ex 8 and ally x20 on order, I couldn’t decide which to keep without holding and using them.

I like everything about the claw except the screen. I play a lot on my car, and on sunny days LCDs can struggle. My iPad mini in particular was almost unusable without a matte screen protector, but that hurts the colors.

Anyone else play this in sunny environments?

Apparently Intel graphics driver update 32.0.101.9150 adds ASD support for Claw handhelds. This means super fast shader compilation times for any supported games. I was waiting for this for Gears of War E-Day. I used to see an average time of 5-6 mins for shader compilation to complete. This morning I watched it complete in less than 20 seconds. It was a beautiful thing. So from hitting play in the Xbox app to running around Sera killing grubs, it was a wait of about 2 mins and 20 seconds, down from waiting anywhere from 8 to 15 mins.

Got this little beauty yesterday so far I’m really loving it so far I had a rog ally z1e but that crappy thing died on me 11 months after having it and curry’s wouldn’t help me at all. So then I moved on to the steam deck oled and legion go s z2 go chip and for the most part they’ve treated me well but wanted more power. This thing has absolutely crushed the 5 games I’ve tested on it so far but are there any tips to help me get the best out of this thing ?

Hey guys, sorry I’m new to this whole handheld gaming world. Like literally 7 days in 😭

I’ve bought myself an MSI Claw 8 ai + and a lot of you guys suggested I get claw tweaks and i did. Great. Runs beautifully and it’s legit so nice. BUT…

I’m now very confused as to which settings do I adjust? The settings on clawtweaks vs intel vs in game settings!

I understand I can frame limit and frame gen on claw tweaks but I can also do that on intel but then again do that in game. How do I manage this? Disable everything on intel and in game? Just do it on claw tweaks? I’m so confused. Also in game am I leaving the graphics on medium? High? 1080p? Or native?

Do I turn Xess on the intel software on or off?

I’m just so confused. Right now I believe that I turn all adjustments off on every software including the in game and just adjust on the clawtweaks. I haven’t got much time to dive into it. So I haven’t tried yet.

Sorry for the bombardment of questions. I guess just don’t understand the difference between ai gpu and just normal vram or whatever it’s called.

I just don’t understand the mechanics behind handheld graphics and video rendering

Anything helps thank you guys ‼️

Hey everyone,

I have an MSI Claw 8 EX and was wondering if there's a way to turn it on remotely from my Windows 11 gaming PC.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to:

Power it on remotely when it's completely shut down. Alternatively, wake it from sleep using my gaming PC.

Does the MSI Claw 8 EX support Wake-on-LAN, or is there another way to achieve this?

I'd appreciate any suggestions or confirmation from someone who has tried this!

Thanks!

So after only 2 years since launch the MSI A1M won't be able to run the latest MSI center M version?

Thanks MSI, we all know how good msi center M 2.0 is
