    Overclock? or put as prefered graphics card all the time in nvidia control panel it should be called the high-performance nvidia card (and reboot)

    Also in Alienware Command Center under AlienFusion I believe, under advanced there are a number of cpu, and gpu settings for plugged or unplugged, the settings will only save if you have AlienCC running i think, meaning it in the msconfig.exe on start up

    Go into Power Options-->Edit Plan Settings-->Advanced Settings

    Expand the "Graphic Processor" tree and under "GPU Power State" change the setting for "On Battery to "Max Performance."
