    This is my first actual Gaming Laptop. So i'm having a little trouble configuring it to actually run my games without the charger plugged in. Can somebody please help me and tell me what I have to do to configure this to run the same way on battery power as it does plugged in?

    I don't think it will, I don't even think enough voltage is supplied by the battery to let it run at full power, and really you shouldn't be playing anything too intesive while not plugged in anyhow.

    the gpu downclocks/undervolts itself when ypu aren't plugged in.. leads to decreased performance.. if it ran at full, you'd get like 30 mins of battery lol
