Hello again @RobertZuduluf 

Like we talked about before, its going to happen when unplugged.

IF you still insist on playing unplugged (not best), you can change some settings in the Nvidia Control Panel to help it some.

Open the Nvidia control Panel.

Click on Manage 3D settings.

Select the Programs tab. Select the game from the drop down list you wish to play.

Scroll to Power Management Mode and change the setting to Prefer Maximum Performance.

IF that doesnt help, you can tell the laptop to only use the Nvidia card, not Auto select.

Change the preferred graphics card to the Nvidia card.

The second option will cause the system to use more battery power always.

It will help some with the fps, but still wont be as good as plugged in.
