Best Battery Performance, not what you would expect.

When researching this laptop and looking around after i bought it ive always heard alot of Hooplah about battery performance being frustratingly low.(thats right i said hooplah) When i got mine i decided i would test around with this and see what i could dig up. Just want to put out my findings of what gives me the best 3D performance on battery power with my XPS m1730(using 167.55 drivers but this should have the same effect on other drivers unless im not aware of one that increases battery power usage by the GPU), opposite from what i expected when i recieved this notebook max performance on battery actually gave me the worst performance in games. On top of this i found lowering your brightness had a significant effect on performance. THe best performance i could get on my apps was actually from the power saver config on lowest brightness, but eve on moderate or high brightness with powersaver was better then max performance on low brightness. I believe this is because the total power consumption from the battery can not be tweaked or changed, so by using the power saver and low brightness you save more power to be put towards your GPUs. Not sure if someone already had talked about this or not just somthing i thought a new m1730 owner should know, wanted to put up my findings.

Also i can throw up some benchmarks later if anyone wants.

Thanks for your time,

Anthony
