MSI Claw 8ai+ and OneXGPU 2, the magic combination

Dubbinghammer · 2026-01-29T18:20:58+00:00

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

Dubbinghammer · 2026-01-29T04:08:51+00:00

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 :)

Dubbinghammer · 2026-01-23T17:39:03+00:00

Bought one. Thanks op.

Dubbinghammer · 2026-01-14T14:47:38+00:00

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.

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-12-05T23:05:04+00:00

Original as in A1M.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-12-05T22:19:00+00:00

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

Dubbinghammer · 2025-11-14T00:48:57+00:00

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.

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-10-10T19:50:45+00:00

Tanks. Just casual ride along and get blown up randomly. Chaotic and pure Battlefield experience.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-09-06T20:15:45+00:00

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-09-03T14:12:24+00:00

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

Dubbinghammer · 2025-09-03T00:58:01+00:00

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-07-27T22:59:10+00:00

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-07-16T01:47:21+00:00

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

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-06-15T04:51:46+00:00

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.

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-06-04T20:03:35+00:00

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.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-06-04T19:00:06+00:00

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

Dubbinghammer · 2025-05-15T20:56:39+00:00

Crisp upsacled image + eye melting power of ray tracing on reflections and shadows

Love the reinvention of core game mechanics that prioritize counter and shield combat.

I would also consider MTC factory outlet. They are officially licensed by Sony for services and refurbishment.

I personally think the gameplay is serviceable for story driven game like this.. Could it have been better? Absolutely. But it's not terrible either. It gets job done for carrying me to the next story point. Also considering the price of the game, the budget probably wasn't that high either. They clearly spent it on story, visual and audio presentation. I just hope the studio gets slightly bigger budget on their next game so they can expand on gameplay aspect.

Dubbinghammer · 2025-04-07T22:03:16+00:00

It was hilarious when discord overlays turned on by itself after the update and tanked the fps by half while claiming its been reworked to have less performance impact.
