nvidia 1070 not performing on battery?

[BrandonZ]

I have the new Omen 17, with the gforce 1070.  When I use any graphical heavy programs or games, when unplugged the performance drops extremely far.

I game on Diablo3 and at max settings plugged in I can get 70-80FPS, but when on battery it drops to below 10.  Rendering times also nearly quadrouple in vectorworks when on battery.

I have all known power management settings on max, and even run live boost from system mechanic.  Is the 1070 just that much of a power hog that the battery simply cant keep up?

Also, I have the 6700 processor, and I knew that that particular processor seems to have integrated graphics, although my windows 10 pro doesnt seem to recognize if it does or not.

Thanks!

Thanks, I kinda Figured it was power obviously... I mean the power brick is 11.9 amps... Guess the battery just isnt beefy enough...
