    hi guys this may be a simple fix but its doing my head in, i recently purchased a clevo p150em with a 680m gtx now when its running on ac the 680m runs great but when on battery it keeps switching to the integrated intel graphics and wont use the 680, how do i fix it so it uses the 680m gtx on games.

    You can't use the 680m on battery, even if you could it would be severely downclocked and probably not any better than the integrated HD4000. It consumes WAY too much power to run on battery.

    Why would you even want to use the 680M on battery? If you tried to use it at its full clocks, I don't think you would even have an hour of battery life
