Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer if you have not done so already, would be to change the notebook power plan settings when on battery power to the maximum for the processor and graphics.

once its unplugged the fps drops to 30
Yep, that will happen when you switch from AC to Battery only. The system throttles down to conserve power.
Depending on your settings and what game, the numbers will vary.
I don't recommend playing on battery only whenever possible. That will only bring your battery to its end of life much quicker with recycles.
is there any problem if i plugged it in when i start playing games even if the battery full or not?
No problem. I leave mine plugged in during all use unless I turn it off, then I will unplug it.
You can also change the power settings in the Nvidia Control Panel to utilize maximum power during battery. This will still not be as good as plugged in, but better.
You can set this for individual games or globally for everything.
Manage 3D settings>Program Settings tab>Select a program to customize>Power management mode = Prefer maximum performance.
Let us know if you have other questions.
