Question My Lenovo gaming laptop won't run games well when it's not plugged in.

I recently got this laptop and for some reason it can't run games well when it is not plugged in. This happens even when it is fully charged.

Did you check the power settings (advanced). Perhaps the processor is throttled when on battery power.

Hey there,

i don't know which Lenovo laptop u have but mine (the version with the rtx2060) does the same.
My thought on this is that it is just because of power limitation. The Lipo in the laptop is just not powerful enough to handle the components on battery use only.
I mean a pre-build pc with a rtx2060 would have about a 500 to 600 watt power supply.
That's something the battery can't do on its own, which is why u need to have it on charge while gaming.
