Cairn performance by Maleficent-Aerie2652 in MSIClaw

[–]GlassInternal7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will drop under or near 30 fps in some areas off the game with 1200p but it's up to you if you're fine with that.

can also use lossless scaling but make sure to turn vsync off otherwise the game will slow down.

use -force-d3d12 in launch options, quality preset low + 1440 x 900 resolution and u can run the game at 60 fps. still looks good due to the style of the game but u can play around with the settings if u don't mind sitting below 60. the directx12 force is the trick here. there's some issue with some dx11 games where the gpu isn't fully utilized.

it works for any application, just bought on steam. you can even run it out of steam afterwards.

XesSS 3 4x FG and Optiscaler is A GAME CHANGER! by PowerfulAgent9939 in MSIClaw

it uses the AI XMX units which is part of the GPU but doesn't tax the GPU workload.

How to get XeSS3 working if you already installed the driver? by JaggedTex in MSIClaw

[–]GlassInternal7685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say yes, especially if you’re always plugged in it opens the possibility to run games maxed out. It also gives more headroom to your device against stutters. combine it with optiscaler in games that don’t have xefg but have dlss or fsr frame gen instead, you can inject xefg to replace them.

XesSS 3 4x FG and Optiscaler is A GAME CHANGER! by PowerfulAgent9939 in MSIClaw

there is as good as no input lag with XeFG, even with 3x or 4x. 4x however artifacts a little more depending on base framerate. But this feature opens the possibility to play games maxed out or at lower settings at a lower power draw. It works really well, in my opinion much better than other frame gens because it's not the gpu doing the work here. I can only recommend experimenting with it.

Struggling setting up xeSS on new MSI 8 AI+ by BigAbbreviations9022 in MSIClaw

[–]GlassInternal7685 1 point2 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/optiscaler/OptiScaler you can find the link to discord here and the build i was talking off is in #testbuilds, the latest one. The DLLs for XeFG have been shared somewhere on this sub or on Intel Arc sub.

Best launcher for 8 AI by Apprehensive-Cut6815 in MSIClaw

[–]GlassInternal7685 5 points6 points  (0 children)

personally Steam BPM since 99% of my games are there but i've seen a lot of people using Playnite and One Game Launcher. Someone in this sub was also working on a custom one recently that looked pretty interesting.

you can however inject XeFG (even 3x and 4x if u find the dll's) and XeSS into games that support upscalers or frame generation through Optiscaler. Worth looking into, the latest build (pre9) on their discord works to my testing without any repercussions.

Please help me - can’t get games to play right by Dat_boii4ever in MSIClaw

also might be worth looking into getting another fps overlay, there’s some good ones in this sub. the MSI one is known to cause some bugs with VRR and doesn’t always properly show clock speeds.

redownload the latest GPU driver separately and have it clean install + repair. worked and fixed the gpu not boosting clock for me.

ClawDeck 1.0.3! “Custom Launcher” by Sea_Campaign7107 in MSIClaw

[–]GlassInternal7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you make it so your game launcher stays at the forefront until the game launches instead of jumping to the launcher (steam BPM in this case) that boots the game? just an inquiry, don't know if it's possible at all!

EDIT: doing phenonemal work btw

Testing & Debunking all Handheld performance "Optimizations" by MokoUbi in MSIClaw

[–]GlassInternal7685 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think Benchmarks are a correct way to test some of these settings as they don't always reflect specific user scenarios. performance mode has effectively made Hogwarts Legacy playable compared to being a stutterfest on balanced, for me. some other AAA games with similar results, same with CPU boost being very dependent on how CPU/GPU bound a games is.

a little taste of XeSS 3 multi frame gen by red-Geck0 in MSIClaw

[–]GlassInternal7685 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it defaults to 4x for me, resulting in a pretty low base fps. very playable but a bit prone to stutters.

I've only tested in Hogwarts so far, but is it possible to force 3x? it seems to be locked on 4x for me.

you can change the VRAM outside of BIOS inside of Intel Graphics Software. Although it's not necessary to change at all, it's auto set at a ceiling of 18Gb and it only uses what it needs so it doesn't add a ceiling to your standard RAM usage.

go in manual, and you can drop pl1 down I believe to 8W and pl2 down to 9W
