Guys,
Just bought Y510p. Loving the laptop.
However, is it normal that the gaming performance drops down so bad when not charging?
Is there any way to enable the nVIDIA gpu to be used while not being charged through outlet?
Coz it's kinda useless if need to use the laptop for gaming, need to be plugged in power cord..
Is is the same case for other gaming laptops?

QUOTE(ckeong89 @ Jan 28 2014, 03:05 PM) try setting in the control panel, to set which gc to run when open the application. or set the universal gc to nvidia instead of intel 4600 in default. I did that bro, But still it uses the Intel whenever it is not charging. Do u have the same laptop, and does it works if you did as per your suggestion?

QUOTE(ckeong89 @ Jan 29 2014, 01:13 AM) oh sorry bro because i always plug in the charger due to my work demands. so i didnt experience that. I heard that unplug charger will affect the performance of gc but never try that. sorry. and i did the setting as mentioned but my laptop is always with charger. bro maybe u need other sifu's opinion. sorry No problem.. Hey when u say u plug in the charger all the time, what's the best way to prevent from the laptop to be spoiled easily? Do u put on the battery or not while putting the charger on?
