    I tried to play games with battery but they arent running smoothly, i have check all ati features and turned windows power specs to high perfomance but games go crappy. What about this? There is no enough power for gaming with battery or what?


    In a Dv6 with an i3 and 6770m!

    Try changing the game settings to a lower level.

    Tried gaming FIFA 2012 which is not resource demanding, so i think it isnt becouse of game graphics specs.

    gaming laptops need a power adapter to properly support the GPU. this is true for all gaming laptops.

    Does it default to the HD 2000 on battery? It may. I know on my DV6z I can run pretty much full power on battery. I don't because don't want to fry my battery out.

    I believe so that the GPU requires the battery to run at its fullest. But when playing on battery just tone down the settings a bit.
