My Gaming Laptop that I recently purchased runs games fine when plugged in with GPU Clock speeds of 1455MHz and a GPU memory speed of 6200MHz. But as soon as its unplugged the speeds drop significantly, for instance the memory goes down to 810MHz so it struggles to run even the most basic games. Is there anyway to turn it off, I have messed around with the power settings and have it the highest performance plan. Thanks in advance.

That's for limiting power draw to not hurt the battery or empty it too fast I suppose, but either way it's hard coded into the BIOS and you can't disable that.

Define "messed with the power settings"?

 

That aside, I agree with the above that some power customizations are coded into the vendor BIOS in all likelihood...maybe if the vendor is generous you can disable some of those power-saving features in the BIOS.

that is logic bruh. plug = more power , battery = limited power

That's normal. Because when you're on battery it assumes you want to use is as a laptop and preserve battery life.

 

You can tell it use performance mode even while on battery, but your battery will discharge quickly, even if you're not gaming.
