    Check out my tool (100% free, no install required, no driver hack, doesn't need to run in the background): http://www.nvgpupro.com
    You can modify the power manager feature (or enable it if disabled) of your Nvidia graphic card.

    What is set to it be disabled when I am plug-in to enjoy the full power of my GPU without any slow down what so ever, and have it enable automatically when on battery mode so that it does not affect my battery life.
