HI Guys,
I have the Acer Swift 3 and absolutely love it but there is one thing that I hate. The Nvidia MX250 chip sits idle when there is no graphics intensive task but triggers when a game launches. That said, the gaming performance is viable when the laptop is connected to a power source but the same performance reduces drastically when the laptop is running on battery.
Is there a way to ensure that the graphics performance is not hindered when the laptop is running on battery power? Most of the time when I am bored and want to play a quick game, I want the best performance for those few minutes.
I barely use this machine for gaming but limiting gaming experience to a power source feels restrictive. I have tried setting power balance to performance and still no luck.
Eg. I play e-sport games like CS:GO, Paladins, Brawlhalla, etc. In Paladins, the laptop gives me over 130fps when connected to a power source but the same drops to 50fps when the game is run on battery.
If anyone knows a workaround, do let me know.
