If gaming on battery, the frame rates of Doom 3 and Prey drop to 12 fps. If I game on AC adapter, they are up at 60 frames. I have the power setting at "High Performance". My battery is fully charged.![]()
Is this normal or expected? Can anyone game with 60 frames on battery with max settings?
These are my specs: Gateway 6860 FX
1.83 Ghz core 2 duo
4 gb memory
8800m GTS 512mb
64 bit Vista

I believe on battery power the system automatically downclocks the videocard and CPU to conserve the battery. It is usually recommended only to game on the A/C power.

Fix the PowerMizer :
Step 1 - Press the "window" key + R . This will lauch a command window. Type ((regedit)) then press OK.
Step 2 - Now navigate to this registry.
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\{**a series of numbers that are different**}\0000\
Step 3 - Find PowermizerLevel and change the value to 1
Step 4 - Reboot
DON'T DISABLE IT ! -
I navigate to video but I don't have the (I don't know what symbol that is the one before the) **aseries of numbers then** then that symbol again \0000\. I have two that start with a then numbers but no\0000\. I really want to try this. help. -
EDIT: Maybe this could help you :
