AMD’s Jack Huynh on RDNA 3.5 FSR 4.1 support: “I did not say it’s coming”

It makes ALL Intel handhelds more appealing, even old ones. Even the ancient MSI Claw A1M (Intel's first PC handheld) received Xess 3.0 and 3-4x Multi Frame Gen support which basically doubled/tripled framerates. While today's Claw 8AI+ achieves double the framerates as the Z2 Extreme with Multi Fra

First time posting here, which one should I get?

between these two, go with msi claw a1m. Drivers are much better now compared to how it performed on release (it was worse than steam deck)

Ally running SteamOS, Portal with Cloud Game Streaming and MSI Claw 8 AI+ for all the hardcore AAA stuff. We are spoiled for choice.

Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yes. Bigger screen, better speakers, bigger battery, better performance in AAA titles, and better battery life (by a mile) in indie titles. In fact, I think I got about 7hrs playing Dead Cells. It. Just. Wouldn't. Die. If it wouldn't be for atrocious MSI Centre M (it d

Lenovo“There are no further updates for the graphics card driver of theLegion Go 1.”

Yeah, with my two MSI Claw A1M and AI+, you just need to download the drivers from the Intel website. And every month there are new ones to optimize the games that come out. And recently XeSS 3.0. It's really excellent.

Is the $449 USD Nintendo Switch 2 the best deal in handheld gaming now considering it can even do 1440p-4k 60-120fps gaming when docked on optimized titles? Specially in a world of $800 USD Steam Deck OLED, $1300 Z1E Legion Go S and $2000 Legion Go 2

I actually might say the MSI Claw A1M, Xbox Ally, and the Switch 2 are the best deals

So you would have to do the batter upgrade if you want longer sessions Rog Ally: Either Z1 or Z1E 7" Display 16GB RAM Option for Ste
