Well I updated to the latest Nvidia drivers using the driverheaven Modification tool, and now I can't game on battery because the card goes in low power mode. I tried manually OCing, and I tried setting the laptop to Maximum power, but still nothing.

 

Any other ways of forcing the card not to go in power saving mode?

 

thanks

 

I tried googling but not every1 has the problem with their laptops. Stupid Toshiba:D

I don't kno what I did, I restarted after it was installed, then again after about 1 hour, and now the problem is gone:S

I dunno how to explain this:S

But the Mobility driver update helped alot...I can play far cry 2 perfectly now, and GTA 4 is alot more playable than before...use to get 14-16 fps now I get 20-36 fps
