Hi @Ritvik_12480,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
All laptops will only game at half or less their rating when on battery only. This is absolutely normal. They do this to conserve battery power and heat, no matter what settings you have in the system's power options.
You can change this to allow the graphics card to perform a little better on battery only by changing the settings in the NVIDIA control panel instead. NOTE this will still not be as good as gaming on a power cord. HP recommends you always game with the power plugged in. This will prevent your battery from reaching its end of life sooner.
Changing the Global settings > Power Management Mode to Prefer Maximum Performance will force the laptop to always use the NVIDIA card.
Or if you use the Program settings tab, you can individually choose what program or game uses full power instead.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
