    What's up everybody, I have a problem with my graphics card. I have a GeForce Go 7600 GS, and I installed some games to see how much better the games would run compared to my desktop with a Radeon 9250. The problem is, I couldn't see much of a difference. My question is, does the computer scale its performance back while running on the battery to conserve battery life, and if I plug the computer in, will the computer perform to full capacity?

    If you use the default settings, most probably your computer throttles down when on battery. Both the CPU and GPU have power saving features which will automatically adjust performance.
    Futher, notebook hardware and desktop hardware do not perform at exactly the same level.Yet, if you're benchmarking, always do it plugged in, this card is capable of some serious gaming.
