    What does it take to get the video card to work at full speed when chuggin along on the battery? The max performance setting while locking the cpu at full mast doesn't help the video card clock speeds.

    I know my battery is going to go from like 5 hours down to 45 minutes or something, I don't care :p

    Go into the ATI driver settings and change the PowerPlay settings for battery to Max Performance.
