    Whenever I unplug my laptop, the GPU clocks are downed to 400MHz memory and core, even if I have it overclocked. Does anyone know how to disable this?

    I know It'll kill my battery, but sometimes I get an itch to play a game while there's no outlet around.

    It's an Nvidia 9650m GT by the way.
