    Hello friends.
    I've tried everything but can not get my asus G73JW get high performance using the battery (without power supply).

    The GPU is at full power (maximum clock), but the CPU is not.
    The CPU is below 900MHz, making it impossible for the system is using maximum power with the battery

    Anyone know how to work around this? 've put everything into the same high performance battery, no more resolved.

    Is it impossible Asus G73JW Use all the power with the battery?

    (Sorry some spelling mistakes, I use the Google translator)

    Is the CPU really at only 900MHz when under full load? The default setting has the CPU downclock to save power when it is not doing anything. If you are at 900MHz under load, that is a problem and I can't explain it.

    But if you are trying to make the CPU go full speed with no load (thus wasting power), you can use the free tool throttlestop:

    Hello, Thanks for the reply,
    But do not think you understand my question.

    When I use my laptop on battery, for some reason the processor does not arrive in power.
    I even setting up the system for high performance, the processor (under load) is clocked below 1GHz.

    for some reason, the process does not work with the same power in the battery.

    ie, On the power supply it comes in maximum clock. Using the battery is no more than 1GHz (even when loaded).

    Sera that I was the first to notice this?
    Or our notebook can not handle the battery maximum power.

    I understand what you are saying. Sometimes my power cord gets unplugged when I play Bad Company 2 and the game starts to get unplayable. Although I have not messed with any of my power settings.

    This doesn't happen to me at all on the high performance setting. It does (by design) on the other settings.

    It does on mine, had to use ThrottleStop if you want to run at Turbo multiplier on battery. This probably only happens on 1st Gen i7.
