The MSI Claw, the first portable console powered by an Intel processor, has undergone rapid development since its launch in the first quarter of this year. If its initial performance was below expectations, MSI and Intel have since undertaken rigorous monitoring, thus offering users regular updates both in terms of graphics drivers and BIOS.
Exemplary Monitoring of Graphics Drivers
One of the MSI Claw's strong points is its impeccable graphics driver tracking, which is hardly surprising given that the console is based on an Intel chip. Since its return to the graphics solutions market, Intel has strived to constantly improve its drivers, aware of the challenges of competing with giants such as AMD or NVIDIA. Intel's efforts have been successful, with significant improvements reaching up to 100% over previous generations.
Increasing Performance
Thanks to this meticulous monitoring, the performance of the MSI Claw has improved significantly. The numbers speak for themselves: 43,5% increase in frames per second on F1 23, 27,6% on Hogwarts Legacy, 22,6% on Diablo 4, 21,9% on Dead Space , 18,4% on Forza Horizon 5 and 10,3% on Helldivers 2. This progress demonstrates MSI's commitment to providing an ever more fluid and immersive portable gaming experience.
New BIOS and Ease of Use
Alongside the graphics driver updates, MSI has rolled out a new BIOS (version E1T41IMS.106) for the Claw. Besides improving performance, this update also fixes a few bugs, strengthening the stability and reliability of the console. To facilitate the BIOS update process, MSI provides a detailed infographic, allowing even novice users to perform this operation with confidence.
With exemplary tracking and evolving performance, the MSI Claw is becoming a serious competitor in the portable console market. Thanks to MSI and Intel's commitment to providing regular updates and continuous improvements, this console promises many more surprises to come.
