    POWA !!!!!!!! hwhahah.

    When my G1 is plugged into the wall with POWER!, I get 59 FPS in a game called plasma pong. If I boot my machine up, just using Battery power, I always get 29 FPS. Its like clockwork. Why would my g1 not run as fast on battery power?

    This also happens with other games too, like stalker etc..


    Has anyone else had the same problem, and is there a way around it?

    I'm gona guess its a setting to prevent the battry from draining too much power and imploding. :F

    The graphics card is probably being clocked down (maybe the CPU too) to conserve battery power.

    On battery power it automatically slows the gfx card. This appears not to be in the power for gear settings but in the gfx setting. You can access these by clicking on the tiny nvidia icon in the sys tray and looking under Performance. In mine, on battery power, this changes to 50%. Change it back to 100%. this makes things a lot better
