    Most likely the battery can not support the power demands of the GPU. You're best bet is to turn down the settings of the games while on battery power, even then you won't be able to play very long.

    Gaming laptops have long suffered this affliction and it comes with the territory. You can't expect a little battery to match what you're pulling from the wall, unless you want it to last for 20 minutes. But these batteries cannot even do that. They can't supply the voltage and current required to power your system at full speed.

    Well they can suppy the voltage, it's the current that's the killer.
