    After a bit a research it seems that maybe ATI Power Play affects game performance when enabled on a notebook, no matter if your plugged in or not.

    Is this true? Should ATI Power Play be disabled?

    Im going to attempt BF2 with and without it and see what occurs.

    Somebody posted it somewhere, it said even if it is set for max settings it still turns on some features on your card. Im going to test it.

    If it is set to max power when plugged in, there shouldn't be any problems.
