    What power mode do you all use for gaming? I know it seems obvious that Best Performance would bring the smoothest gameplay but many reviews showed that Balanced brought better results. Ideas?

    There is no reason why Balanced would have better performance results.

    in high performance your cpu state is always at 100% (depending how your config p4g). Games are designed usually for desktop with 100% state. So, in balanced your cpu state varies and some games never uses the 100% of cpu or even gpu and the system must to detetec correctly when the state cpu change and you. an guess, the detection is not always precise and could affect the game performance.
