MSI Claw: The Dark Horse of Handheld Gaming?
As a gamer on-the-go, I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of handheld gaming. The idea of carrying a powerful gaming console in my pocket, ready to whip out and play at a moment’s notice, is incredibly appealing. That’s why I was excited to hear about the MSI Claw, a new gaming handheld that promises to take on the Steam Deck as a viable alternative.
A Rocky Start, But a Promising Update
When the MSI Claw was first released, I was a bit underwhelmed by its performance. The Intel Core Ultra chip just didn’t seem to deliver the goods, and I found myself struggling to play even the most basic games. But MSI has been hard at work, and a new BIOS and GPU driver update has breathed new life into this handheld.
Up to 150% Performance Boost
The new E1T41IMS.106 BIOS and 31.0.101.5445 GPU driver have made a massive difference. According to MSI, the Claw can now handle even the most demanding games, with performance increases of up to 150% in some titles. I was skeptical at first, but after putting the Claw through its paces, I can confidently say that this update has transformed the handheld.
Optimizing Performance
MSI has also shared its recommended settings for getting the most out of the Claw. By tweaking the game-related settings, you can squeeze every last bit of performance out of this little powerhouse. Here are the settings you’ll want to try:
- Game-related settings: Recommended settings
- User scenario: Extreme performance
- Resolution: FHD (1920*1080)
- Graphics quality: Low
- XeSS (Xe Super Sampling): Performance (if available)
- V-Sync: off
- FPS limitation: off
A New Challenger Emerges
With this update, the MSI Claw has become a serious contender in the handheld gaming market. It’s clear that MSI is committed to making this device a success, and I’m excited to see where they take it from here.
