MSI WTF promotion
PCs and accessories maker MSI has entered into a new partnership with WTFast software. As announced on its Facebook page yesterday, it is the first Gaming Laptop maker to introduce WTFast technology which promises online gameplay with "no more lags".
WTFast is a software solution to help perk up your networking. It provides rich connection stats and promises to "optimize your game connection from end to end". The software is built with MMO gamers in mind and is said, in more technical terms, to "reduce average ping", and "greatly reduce connection flux, spikes and packet loss".
The new MSI promotion with regards to WTFast is that registered MSI hardware users can get an "exclusive 2-month premium license," for using this software. If you've used the WTFast Premium Version before and like it, that's a decent bonus, if you've never tried it and would like to test its claims for a couple of months – this free Premium trial facilitates that. Please note that not all games are supported but many popular online games such as League of Legends, Minecraft, DOTA2 and more are.
MSI SLI bridges
Late last week tech site Guru3D published some early photos of MSI branded 3 and 4-way SLI Bridges with mounted FAN units. The site reckons that graphics card designing teams are in a lull, as we wait for next generation parts to be launched, and thus created these SLI bridge designs.
With 3 and 4-way SLI setups prone to heat buildup – so much power is concentrated in such a small area – improving the airflow directly with a fan is definitely a 'cool' idea. As you can see in the rather blurry photos, the bridging unit it accompanied by a matching colour coordinated fan. Further official details should be along shortly.
