Thanks for the replies.

I'm aware of the battery drain with the full performance, it's just that sometimes i'd rather have full performance for 30 min during my conmute, than not being able to have a playable experience... I can plug the laptop before and after to charge.

Yesterday I tested nVidia 3D vision (with the old IR Receiver and a 3D Ready Acer projector) on the m14x. Had to update the nvidia drivers to the latest beta ones to make it detect the IR receiver correctly. After the driver update, working smooth.

Hi,

I've already followed all the steps stated in other threads, after doing a serch.

The issue: As soon as I unplug the AC the performance drops dramatically (during SFIV benchmark goes from 100+fps to 25fps).

Tried:

- Changed energy settings in AlienFusion (High performance > Advanced > Graphics processor : Max performance on both AC and Batt).

- Changed energy settings in Windows Control Panel (High performance plan > Advanced > GPU Power state : Max Performance).

- Changed Global Settings in Nvidia Control Panel: Power management mode > Prefer maximum performance.

- Updated BIOS to unlocked A08 and disabled Intel Speedstep, but I can't find any other values that I should change.

Is there any other thing that I could try?
