Hey Guys
Let me start of with this, if you help me fix this you are blessed and are a true computer geek.
Ok let explain my issue here: i bought a gaming laptop costing me about 2300$ with 3rd gen i7 3630 and gtx 680m about 7 to 8 months ago and that graphics card was the high end one on a laptop back 8 months ago. The laptop shows extreme performance in general BUT when its on its battery it tends to show LESS performance,now i know alot of you guys think that i should go to power options and/ or nvidia control panel and/or my BIOS and change the stuff there and give it a try again but no... i tried every single thing that i could think of. i contacted my manufacturer, i contacted nvidia and they kept telling me to restart stuff but never work out. some told me maybe its a hardware problem but its not because i still get the performance while plugged in to wall. I can still play while its not charging but im on about 40 fps on a regular game but i get absolute performance at 60fps with everything on ultra, its like whenever i plug it in i hear the fans go faster and i feel the power coming then...I always think of it as a car, as if you let it warm up in the winter you get more performance out of it, same problem here. like while im playing a game while its on battery i get lag spikes or frame drops but i dont get the same performance. Does anyone have any clue whats going on? like any command in cmd or sth that i should do to get the same performance while im on battery?Or is this regular and gaming laptops always tend to show more performance while charging?
Guys once again, if you help me figure this out as it was and still is bugging me for 8 months, you are literally blessed. Please tell me what is happening:(
Thanks in advance
P.S These are the specs: Win 8 64 bit, 3rd gen intel i7 3630, gtx 680m, 16gb ram,1 TB HDD, not overclocked

Check your power settings again, there are advanced options in there. I am not sure but you seem to be on the right path, check nVidia settings and BIOS.

I would say that it is a power setting somewhere, where I am not sure. If nVidia thinks it is a hardware problem, then maybe RMA the laptop before it is out of warranty. It could still be a hardware issue with the GPU not getting the power it needs from the battery and forcing it to underclock.

Recheck those power setting, then contact manufacturer.
