Are you using the charger that came with the laptop? If the charger is not the right amperage/wattage, when you plug the laptop up it will down clock the CPU and GPU so that the battery does not drain while it is plugged in.

i have a feeling that's what it is, but in my games there is no option to change the integrated graphics, so is it in the bios or in CCC? :)
