    So I've noticed thatched I run on battery (even on max performance and the graphics card on max) I get really low fps. I've searched around and can't find an answer.

    I realize it's not battery efficient but I wanted to show a coworker the performance and I don't have my power brick.

    Thanks

    That's a fail safe. Not only is a not efficient, it will probably destroy the battery if you want to let it run on max. There is no way around it.

    That's what I needed to know. Thanks!

    Kinda weird how there is the option to have the card perform at max under the power settings.
