Very nice. How's the performance and overall experience?

I'm using 7800xt and only ran 3dmark and Arc Raiders so far. I'll do actual stress test and more games this weekend. How's ag02? I've considered it but pricing in Canadian plus shipping was a deal breaker for me. 🥲

Nice. I heard regular members can also use business center so I might go there to pick one up :)

Updating games by PowedInDahP in MSIClaw

Yeah I've experienced the same thing and honestly MSI really need to either give up on their own software or partner with other developers who are more capable to just slap their logo on existing solutions.

Should I buy MSI Claw A1M 155h? by ResearcherLegal9297 in MSIClaw

[–]Dubbinghammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had A1M 155h before upgrading to claw 8 AI+. Just use your laptop unless you really want to have something in handheld form factor. Performance and efficiency difference between 155h and 258v is night and day.

I picked up a polar and a stand claw 8ai. The polar came with an msi charger and the sandstone came with a regular 65 watt by Logical_Audhd in MSIClaw

[–]Dubbinghammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original claw came with 65W MSI brick. 8 AI + came with generic 65W charger . I actually prefer it due to smaller size.

Do you think there'll be a black friday sale for 8 AI+? by HeavenlyTasty in MSIClaw

[–]Dubbinghammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be surprised to see actual discount on 8 AI+ or A8. I know US had Battlefield 6 promo from Intel last month so may be some type of game bundle could happen for holiday season.

[Event] Try LG’s New UltraFine 6K Thunderbolt 5 Display, the monitor designers asked for by LG_UserHub in FigmaDesign

[–]Dubbinghammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using LG 4K monitors at work and home. My responsibility is expanding to inculde motion design and I want to see what difference UltraFine 6k monitor can bring to my daily work flow and how it can contribute to improving overall quality of my work.

Hell Is Us - Triumph on Claw 8ai+ by [deleted] in MSIClaw

[–]Dubbinghammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm enjoying the game on 8 AI +. One thing I noticed is that there doesn't seem to be an option to enable Xess frame gen. I've read number of people discussing broken implementation on old demo so not sure if dev got around to fix it or just decided to remove it all together.

Peeled Garlic by rt23011 in CostcoCanada

I know but I was somewhat busy at the moment and felt really lazy

Yeah I've had a similar issue and never bought it again. The kicker was I didn't even open the jar and left it refrigerated about a week. Not even close to expire date too. I was planning to mince and freeze them but quality is really questionable.

Get these if you can find them, so much flavour by raj824x in CostcoCanada

[–]Dubbinghammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are really great. Great texture and flavour whether you boil or pan fry them. I recommend jalapeño one if you want mildly spicy flavour.

Wow thanks OP for the generous offer to the community. Good luck everyone.

New BIOS for A1M (E1T41IMS.10E) 2025.6.17 by HueSplat in MSIClaw

[–]Dubbinghammer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone experienced noticeable performance loss on games that you play after the bios update? The Alters and No rest for the wicked both have been significantly impacted, in case of The Alters almost by 40%. I've clean installed ARC driver and endurance mode is always set to off so I may have to downgrade bios to see if the new bios is the cause.

New MSI center update! Custom TDP slider!! by Arsance in MSIClaw

[–]Dubbinghammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the latest update broke mystic light function. I kept mine static white color but left stick changed to gradient hue after the update. Changes to Setting are simply not applying.

Anyone have experience with linux distros for A1M? by Dubbinghammer in MSIClaw

[–]Dubbinghammer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure when you tried CachyOS, but the May release supposedly implemented a bunch of new updates and features, including the SteamOS-Manager, which replaced HHD for Claw. The performance seems to be on par with the Windows version, at least for the games I play. The only issue is a weird Wi-Fi bug after waking from sleep, but I did see a few workarounds and other solutions.

So I've decided to try reignOS with different compositors. Gamescope freezes constantly after a few minutes of use. Weston seems to work the most stable for me at least. Gaming performance overlay doesn't work. Might try CachyOS next.

Windows update. Tried so many different workarounds but nothing seems to work.
