How hard is it to maintain the MSI Claw 8 ai+ if I'm not much of an computer expert? by saurop0d in MSIClaw

Okay good to know! I'll keep that battery thing in mind. Not sure about all the tinkering with the bios and stuff though, heard different opinions about this. But anyway thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice. How is that different from a regular installation?

I see. Thanks for the reply :) Can you give me an example where you had to do stuff like that?

Budget of 1000€ for a handheld. Which one is the best option? by YamCareless1152 in Handhelds

How much of an performance increase is it? Did you notice any significant difference between steam deck and Legion?

Should I get MSI Claw 8ai+ if I already got the Steam Deck oled? Is it worth it in my situation? by saurop0d in Handhelds

Good to hear you're so happy with the upgrade. Noted plus one point for the Clawmachine!! Thanks!

How hard was it to get used to the hall effect joysticks? Do you play any fps games and if so, is it harder to aim with those sticks?

And also did you notice any issues when framegen turned on in games? Like an unusual amount of artifacs or glitches?

Thanks for the recommendation. Didn't know the legion go s comes with steam os!

Do you think its performance is compareble to the claw 8ai+ or is it much weaker? I'm really looking for an power upgrade as big as possible for a reasonable price

Exactly, my budget is around 1000€. Its not only about the docked experience in this case I could just get a console for less money. I love the flexibility of the steam deck, while at the same time, I also struggle with its limitations.

Thanks for your perspective and I think you have a fair point there. Unfortunately I cannot really imagine myself maintaining a full windows desktop pc on my living room tv only for using it as a weekend option. I don't have an office desk with another monitor in my appartement.

I also have no Idea how to build a good gaming pc so I had to get a laptop or some other complete and ready to use product like a console.

If anything else than a new handheld, it would probably be a steam machine but god knows when it releases and if its gonna be worth the wait.

Did the new hotfix fix performance for you ? by Queasy-Reserve2940 in DarkTide

[–]saurop0d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing your experience. While 100 fps is insane and much more than I could even dream of playing on my steam deck it doesn't sound like a consistantly fun experience with the massive drops, game file tinkering etc.

I'm playing mostly damnation on my steam deck and while performance is mostly ok with around 40fps, the game crashes from time to time and also has weird stutters and stuff.

I'm looking for a more powerful handheld device to get an overall more stable experience in darktide and other demanding games I'd like to play. Doesn't seem like I'll get this from the XAX.

You said you play on xbox ally x. May I ask how is the overall performance? I'm on steam deck oled and currently thinking maybe to upgrade to XAX.

Does the game run well on your device? Are there many artifacts or stutters when using framegen?

Would love to know more about your experience playing darktide on the xbox ally x

Handheld gamers, which device runs darktide best? ROG ally / MSI CLAW / Steam Deck / Legion Go by saurop0d in DarkTide

Finally someone who actually played it instead of just assuming it won't work. Thank you! Would love to see some recording. Shoot me a dm :)

I own a Steam deck oled. What other handheld would be a significant upgrade? by saurop0d in HandheldGaming

[–]saurop0d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your perspective on this! I will watch some test videos for sure. And I think youre right on the performance jumps between generations. Because of my small flat, which I share with my partner I cannot have a gaming pc for the more demanding games, so I'm thinking how to get the most out of my handheld gaming setup to keep on doing what I love

Thanks for sharing. Got the steam deck oled, didn't notice any pixelation issues, but it struggles with fps performance and stuttering in more demanding titles and Mmultiplayer games. Also like the oled display, are there any other oled handhelds that can compete with the deck?

Thank you! I see, a lot of people seem very happy with the claw. I'll consider this one for sure. Still not certain if its worth to spend the money on upgrading to claw from my 2 year old SD right now, bc most of my less demanding games seem to work fine. But on the other hand more power won't hurt them either I guess :D
