I've been playing Just Cause 2 on my laptop since I got it, runs very well imo. However I notice a difference between battery and powered play.
There is noticeable lag when just turning around in the game between the two. At first I though because the system is in some low power battery mode, however I have set it to high performance on battery and the problem remains.
So I ask if I'm doing something wrong or if the system will just never have enough power for full performance under battery.

When you're on battery, the GPU will auto downclock to save the battery usage even you're on High Performance mode, I think there's nothing you can do about unless you revert to the A01 BIOS version, because it will eat your battery in several minutes. If you want a smooth gameplay then plug in the power cable.
