I have a IdeaPad 3 laptop. I was playing a video game on my lap top while plugged into the wall. Everything worked just fine before that day. The graphics ran at 60fps and looked smooth all of a sudden they started dropping to only 17 fps and kept going down from there now no matter what I do like change lots of battery power plan settings or turn them off it runs very poorly when it's plugged in P.S. When I take the charger out it runs very good

What are the exact specs and which game? It feels weird because it runs great on a battery but stops when plugged in. I thought we should tell you the power plan is messed up, but you've already done that check yourself.

That video game, MGSV Phantom Pain, was actually performing really well for me over the last few months. My computer setup is set up with an 8 gigabyte of RAM, a CPU that's an i5-1135G7, and a 500 gigabyte SSD storage.

To clarify: running this game on the battery gives a good frame rate, but plugging in the laptop makes performance bad. Have you checked if the same graphics card is being used in both cases, meaning it's using the Nvidia GPU regardless of whether it's on battery or plugged in?

It uses two of those things: the Mx350 with a high score of 94 to 95 percent and an iris set at 4 to 5 percent. That means it also takes in 59 percent of my memories.
