I was playing Tera MMO on my Laptop. Had it plugged in, solid 60 FPS on high settings. No problems or major fluctuation at all. I unplugged my laptop to move it, and it dropped to 13-17 FPS. I tried rebooted. Razor Game Booster, editing the setting in the Nvidia Control Panel. I seem to think it may have to do with the Intel graphics overriding it or something when I unplugged it. I checked to see if it was a performance setting when I unplugged, but it's all set to max performance. Please help.

System:
Intel i7-4600 (W/ HD Graphics)
GeForce 750m


Is it safe to uninstall the Intel graphics? Im at a loss at this point.

Your laptop probably has a deep setting for when you unplug it, it goes into battery saving mode. Just because it says "Max Performance" doesn't mean that the settings apply to both plug and battery. You'll have to manually go into the Windows Power settings and change each setting to whatever you want.

Most likely throttling due to heat.

The 750m still isn't a very good "gaming" graphics card. It's well below a 650, which I wouldn't recommend as an entry level gaming card.

I don't think the Intel card supports 3d, however... There might be a way to force it to be recognized. Some games (like Borderlands 2) should tell you what graphic device it's using.

Why would a laptop throttle on battery when it's capable of sucking through a plug and be fine? 750m is a entry laptop-based GPU and runs pretty well on most games. And any Intel HD graphics chip will support 3D games; just not at a very good framerate.

Sometimes the power circuitry off the battery isn't as powerful as that off the DC in, or the battery voltage sags too much when sucking juice.

There are also a number of preinstalled power management programs that force the Intel GPU when on battery. Have a hunt through the bloatware.

The intel card definitely supports 3D games. Not so sure if it supports stereoscopic 3D output, though.

Powersaving most likely. Might need to be set in the UEFI BIOS though.
Second would be; where did you move it to? Did you move it from a cool desktop to a carpet?
