Laptop is lagging while playing fifa! :(

[Sumit091]

While playing fifa 14 with plugged in ,I noticed lag in the game. So I removed it from charging and then I noticed it is running fine. Normaly the opposite can happen as far as i know. Mine is samsung laptop,i5,4 gb ram,2 graphics processor-nvidia 610m and intel hd 4000. How can I solve this please advice. Shoud I add more ram or what?
Thanks in advance.

Make sure your power options are set to high performance when plugged in.

If you go into power options in the control panel, you should be able to locate your GPU and CPU and set the performance level (i.e. High, medium, low) when they are plugged in and unplugged. Check to see if yours are on maximum while the laptop is plugged in. That should solve the issue!

yes that was set in high performance. 🙁

Normally the opposite of your problem happens... What is your CPU, and what is it's core speed when playing a game and plugged into the charger? You can download Core Temp which will display information about your CPU.

Also what is your GPU core clock speed while playing a game plugged in? You can download a GPU monitoring program like this:

I suspect that a power plan setting is interfering with your CPU/GPU's clock speed to save power, and causing FPS drops.

yes ik. 🙁 cpu-intel core i5 3210m@2.5ghz.. while plaing fifa speed is 100%...and while not plugged in its around 1.7 ghz.So in power setting i set cpu speed to 70%.it didnt help either. :3

Now the game is running fine using intel hd 4000. :O
