Laptop FPS drop

rony59turbo

I have a Yoga 710. When i play The Crew, my fps does not change when plugged in or unplugged. But when i play Just Cause 3 and i unplug the laptop, the fps drops like crazy. I've set Nvidia control panel to prefer maximum performance but still no fix. I've also noticed that when i unplug my GPU usage drops from 100% to around 60-70%. Any help would be appreciate.

Same issue. I believe there is not much that can be done about that. Its the design of the GPU. One last thing you can do in geforce experience is disable the battery optimize feature.

I agree with CmzPlusHardware. The issue is probably with the Geforce Experience battery optimization feature, as it is enabled by default. But it could also be that your system cannot work at max settings without being plugged in.

I realized that many Lenovo laptops seem to have this quirk.

 

When you unplug the laptop, the dedicated GPU caps its maximum clocks in order to preserve battery life. This happened on my Y410P on the games I played. I don't recall my current ASUS doing the same but I usually only keep my laptop plugged in when I play games anyway as gaming laptops are never known for endurance, especially when they, you know, run games.
