Perhaps Energy saving is active wheb unplugged.
Thx 4 ga :-)

Yes, check advanced options, like said above, there are still some settings that are left out.
My old laptop didn't have that issue (Pentium B960 + GT 540M), while everyone I know with a newer laptop had it (GT 5xx +i3, GT 7xx+i7), and my new laptop doesn't have it (i7 4720HQ + GTX 950M). There is something broken in the power management that was fixed on newer CPUs. (I think the CPU is to blame)

Something you can try is using a game booster, which will suspend non-essential functions from your os while you have it active and free up resources.

Even with High Performance, there'll be different settings for plugged in and on battery inside advanced power options.

Seems like the battery cannot hold enough power any more to supply the CPU/GPU with enough juice. You may set high performance, but even mobile CPUs need enough ampere to use their full clock speed. In some cheaper laptops this is by design as the battery was never designed to give enough amperes to fully power the system, especially something that eats power like an nVidia mobile dGPU.

Most of the not insanely expensive "gaming" mobile chips rely on wall sockets to supply them, this is why "gaming laptop" is an oxymoron, since they are as mobile as a 30 kg super-sized desktop. Some can rely on batteries, but only for 1-3 hours at best, and only a handful of laptops I seen that even enabled that option for the hardware.
If you travel a lot and want to play more hardware-intensive games in the meantime, you are better off with a Vita or even better, a DS. If you want PC games, then the laptops that can survive at least two hours start around 1700 USD.

My laptop is pretty similar in specification, only with the Nvidia 550M instead, and like talgaby says, it doesn't matter what I try in settings, I think the battery just can't provide enough power for certain things. So I run mine plugged in 24/7.

Ah, right.. in that case possibly go down the road of getting a high performance battery replacement for mobile use, and changeover to a crappy battery when it is plugged in at home.. but you might just have to wait (like I am) for the day I can buy a better laptop (or PC).

That is actually better for your battery. Lithium Batteries cannot be overcharged without exploding and/or catching fire. There are several redundant systems in place to prevent it from being overcharged. They also do not form "memories" like Lead batteries. The big thing that kills them is burning through their recharge cycles, especially with high capacity batteries like those for a laptop. You are better off leaving it on the charger as much as possible.

yes, or you can find if there's a companyin your area that is doing baterry regeneration - they can replece batery cells with new high quality ones but it wil cost you a bit. And while it may boost your performace a bit - you will always have better performance with charger.

Have you tried with Razer Cortex? It comes with a custom mode that you can enable with the charger on and off, and it is already set to performance mode.
And my laptop has this app my the manufacturer that allows to block the max. charge of the battery to 60% to minimize the risk, maybe there is some software like that in the interwebs for your model?

I have to play all my games on my cruddy, slightly outdated laptop. Here some unimpressive specs:
GPU: GeForce GT 650M
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40 GHz
Memory: 8 GB RAM
OS: Win10
Here's my question:
Of the games that I can play, like CS:GO, TF2, etc., my laptop can hit 60 FPS no problem, in fact I've been at 70 something with CS:GO. But that's only when my laptop is plugged in. When My laptop isn't plugged in, I'm given unplayable frame-rates in everything except the most basic of games, like The Binding of Issac. Is there any way that I can make it so my laptop can play all the games the way it is when it's plugged in, while its not plugged in? Any help is appreciated
Also, here's your 5 copy GA
EDIT: My power options is set to High performance, both on and off the charger, since people were suggesting that.
EDIT 2: GA is over, thanks for the help guys.
