Y50 70 low FPS when on battery

Hi guys,.

I have a problem with my 70 Y50, i5 4210 H, GTX 860 M, UHD

When I unplug the power adapter and use the battery I get a dramatic in the FPS drop when you play.

Is this normal for this model and if not, how can I fix this or it is a hardware failure?

Before you ask me, consider the following:

Power management is set to High Performance with minimum CPU on 100% battery.

The nVidia Driver is set to: prefer Maximum and boost performance at 60 fps in any case.

When a battery I get 20 ~ 25 fps in GTA V and 20 ~ 35 FPS in Dota 2. With AC get respectively 48 FPS in GTA V, which is the maximum for UHD Samsung display and 50 ~ 60 FPS in Dota 2 (on the HD and nVidia FPS counter showing above 48 FPS).

Is this normal for this model and if not, how can I fix this or it is a hardware failure?

Thank you in advance!

It's normal for most laptop computers (this is not a hardware failure). There is not enough power for the GPU for graphics rendering max.

Games should always be plugged for maximum performance.

  • Re: Satellite U300 hibernates when the battery is very low

    Hello

    I bought my satellite U300 141 two weeks ago.
    The computer is not put into hibernation when the battery is very low.

    I checked the settings of vista, default 2% of the battery capacity, the laptop must Hibernate. But mine is not.
    But I noticed that the battery level does not fall below 5%. I tried to change the setting of vista from 2% to 5%, but it has no effect.

    Telephone toshiba support told me to update the package of the value 'stretched out' or something like that, but it has no impact too.
    the problem is still there.

    Anyone have an answer?
    I also tried to update the BIOS, but during the upgrade process, the software told me that I can't because I'm not the administrator of the computer, I am sure I am.

    so, if someone can help me please...

    Please check first if hibernation was enabled in Vista power options.
    Then you can assign to hibernation level up to 10%

    Maybe then your laptop will be able to enter hibernation mode

  • Fuze 4 GB warning disconnect and reconnect to Windows 7 pc... when the battery is low.

    So I just got a rocket and I love it.  Done a good deal about it.  Windows 7 picked it up and transfer of music is not a problem when the unit is fully charged.

    What IS a problem, is that when the battery is low and I have to plug the "rocket" on my PC to load... it keeps connection / disconnection.  The program of control of rocket guard Center popping up and go, arise and disappear... frustrating.  I tried the DPW and MCP modes (actually in DMC mode on the control panel is not everything and it does not recognize that the device is connected).  I've tried different USB ports.  No hub at issue here.

    Here's the kicker... If I load the "rocket" first (plug into a USB Kindle charger), once it has loaded it connects very well.

    Ran the update of the firmware and I'm on the latest firmware it was available, 1.02.31.

    I would like to know how to solve this problem, because I don't always have the small USB Kindle charger with me, and that would well be load from a PC... which is what the original, right intention was?

    Except that I like it and really dig the FM radio tuner.  It is very bad!

    Hosers, all.

    Usb hub 4 ports powered solved my problem.  'duh, I think yer cable is bad' I DO NOT.  Apparently, the "rocket" sucks just too much power.

    So I solved my problem with a $ 5 usb hub.  Yippee.

  • Y50-70 screen flashing when the display of flash content

    Hello, I bought a laptop from lenovo y50-70 about a month ago, model 59445062, and I noticed a strange problem when using flash player content on Web sites. When the battery power, playback of flash content is slow and the screen starts flashing like crazy, especially when you start scroling around the page. However, when I plug the charger in all problems disappear and everything is fast and smooth. Student in computer SCIENCE, I have a hinch that it could be related to flash player and driver of integrated graphics, but the test of the integrated on high graphics demanding applications (games) there are no noticeable artifacts or flashing, even on battery screen. I use windows 8.1 x 64, all the updated drivers to update, flash player update. I hope you guys find a solution to this problem.

  • Low FPS since installing Windows 7

    I have upgraded from windows vista to 7 about 2 months and since then while I like how the OS seems faster, I'm getting low FPS in my particular games in WoW.  I tried everything I could think of, uninstalling and reinstalling, updating my drivers, same recently my graphics card overclocking, and yet I am always sitting at about half of the FPS, I had when I was on Vista.  This seems particularly odd since I had to understand that 7 is a lighter OS and should not consume so many resources.  On the positive side, even if I don't seem DC or lag at all compared to vista, but the low FPS is very troubling.  It's especially bad when I'm in windowed mode, but in full screen

    If the drivers are not optimized for the 7 and the last updated a year ago, I would believe it. I assume you are using the 32-bit drivers for Windows Vista found here, right? http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_8800_gt_us.html

    Hmm, I don't really know what else you can try out to get a card compatible 7.

  • Acer Aspire v3 - 572 g suddenly low fps

    Hello

    Since yesterday evening, I experienced a permanent drop in fps in all games I play (for example, CS etc.).

    Not even a fps drops in some of the older titles, which should not have any problems whatsoever.

    It was not caused by a windows update, since the update was done a few days earlier, and the problem occurs then. (just to be sure, I did a system restore and it does not solve the issue)

    I forced my most powerful graphics processor to work in all circumstances, and the system is set on high performance. I have not installed new programs or made any changes to the system. In fact, the fps drop was so random, I played a game earlier in the day and then a few hours later, when I restarted the game, I was instantly a fps drop from 160 to 50 and it is persistent.

    Basically, Ive tried all solutions there and on Monday im going to get my laptop cleaned of dust, since I him have not done in the 9 months that ive had this laptop.

    The reason why I did this topic was just to maybe get some intel, if could be the possible reasoning behind this fps drop I. Because to me it seems that something is bottlenecking my performance of laptops.

    Or if anyone has some sort of information or ideas, which might work, Id appreciate your time and efforts.

    A few days later all of a sudden the low fps was completely gone, but I have a strong feeling that it was caused by the dust.

    I took it to the service a few days ago and the fps improved even more.

  • Use of AC when the battery is at 100%? (S7-391)

    Hello world!

    I have been affected by the worst support from Acer, I have no problem with the ultrabook himself (Acer Aspire S7-391) but I have some doubts about pilots and other things, that they have avoided answering many ways. So, here's the thing:

    This ultrabook has all drivers that could be use the AC power when the battery charge reaches 100% to avoid tampering with the battery?

    The thing is that while I have 100% of the battery and the ultrabook is connected to the power adapter, it always seems to be draining the battery power and recharging it back to being 100% all the time.

    When I ask about the drivers, who might or might not be installed, I just need to find a way to access this functionality if possible, and if I can't, I need to know as soon as POSSIBLE so that I can start unplug the laptop right after that the battery has reached 100%.

    Thanks in advance.

    As you said with Connector 2 power pins can also disconnect the battery charge. It can disconnect the power supply from the battery charging circuit when the battery reaches a particular % with the laptop running load in power cables. I do not think that your computers support portable setting the level of charge of battery to a % custom. Your laptop must have a particular hardware and BIOS that supports. In some laptops, the BIOS has the ability to define a particular % of battery charge. I read somewhere that windows 8 do not support this feature, old version of windows (Vista) support this feature.

    Some write up I found online to help you.

    Memory effect

    First of all, it is necessary to unfold a myth that persists in the minds of many people.

    The effect of stack memory.

    In the basis of lithium batteries, it is in fact a myth, it applies only to the old nickel-based batteries. Therefore fully discharge and recharge the battery are completely useless and even harmful as discussed below.

    The modern lithium battery can be charged independently of its current percentage, because he has absolutely no negative effect in his performances.

    Should I remove the battery when the a/c is connected?

    Many users of portable computers have this question and we will answer it right now:

    The answer is: YES and NO, it depends on the situation.

    Have a fully charged battery and the laptop is connected is not harmful, because as soon as the load level of 100% of the battery stops receiving the energy load and this energy is shorted directly on the power of the laptop system.

    However, there is a downside to keep the battery in the holder when the laptop is plugged in, but only if he currently suffers from excessive warming caused by the hardware of the laptop.

    So:

    -In normal use, if the laptop does not get too hot (CPU and hard drive around 40 ° c to 50 ° c) the battery must remain into the Jack of the laptop;

    -Intensive use, which leads to a large amount of heat produced (i.e. games, temperatures over 60 ° c) the battery should be removed the socket in order to avoid unwanted heating.

    The heat between the fact that he has 100% load, is the great enemy of the lithium battery and not the plug, as many might think so.

    Battery discharging

    Full battery discharges (until the computer laptop power shutdown, 0%) should be avoided, because he insists a lot on the battery and may even damage it. It is recommended to perform partial discharge to levels of capacity of 20 ~ 30% and frequent accusations, instead of performing a complete discharge followed for a full charge.

    Laptop PC battery contain a gauge of capacity that allows us to know the exact amount of stored energy. However, due to the charge/discharge cycles, this sensor tends to be inaccurate overtime.

    Some laptops include in their BIOS, tools to recalibrate the battery meter, which is nothing else than a full discharge followed by a charge complete.

    So to calibrate the gauge, it is desirable, in all cycles 30 discharge, a full uninterrupted discharge, followed by a too, non-stop, full charge.

    An inaccurate gauge may have to the fact that the capacity of the battery are values are false. The battery can report that he still has 10% of capacity, when in fact it has a much lower value, and this causes the computer to the unexpected shutdown.

    Cycles of discharge (or charge) are to use this charge battery (100%), but not necessarily all at once.

    For example, you can use the laptop for a few minutes in a day, using half of its e ability then it load completely. If you did the same thing the next day, it can be considered a discharge cycle, not two, so it may take several days before finishing a complete discharge cycle.

  • L50 - B satellite will not start when the battery is completely discharged

    Hello

    My Toshiba L50 - B won't start when the battery is fully drained but connected to the power outlet.
    I try to work most of the time on the battery to keep the battery in good shape, but when I forgot to turn off the battery drains and the system will not start when I plug in the adapter.

    The battery charge indicator is orange light as it should. Only when the battery is fully charged to 100%, it will run at startup and function normally after that. I tried to turn on the laptop several times during the charge cycle, but only when the charge indicator changes from yellow to white it starts. Tested for 2 bodies.

    My old Toshiba always immediately turned on when I plugged the adapter even when the battery has been completely drained. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Thanks for responding... I hope well :-)

    Toshiba L50 - B
    Windows 8.1
    Any standard/original setting since I only acquired this laptop a month ago.

    The laptop should light up if the power adapter is plugged in and power the laptop corectly any if the battery is empty or during charge.

    Please check the version of the BIOS that is available on your mobile phone and compare with the BIOS available on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
    Maybe you need to update the BIOS, but to be honest, the history seems really odd to me and I m afraid that there could be some power supply electronic problem

    So in the worst case, the laptop must be checked by authorized service provider.

  • Qosmio x 770-low FPS

    Hi guys!

    So, basically, the problem is low FPS while playing games like The Witcher 2 or 'old' games like Battlefield BC2.
    Using fraps I had as an average 20 fps on high setting.

    Then I tried everything, change the nvidia, by using gameboost, killing Toshiba software power settings...
    Anyone have any suggestions how to solve this problem unless graphics driver update (we all know the policy of Toshiba on this). Are there processes, Win 7 catches or program preinstalled Toshiba which blocks the graphics card for the use of max?

    Thank you!

    The only thing you can do is to wait for new drivers or try underclocking?

  • Satellite U300 turns off when the battery has been removed

    Hello

    I'm on the laptop with the battery in place, and the power supply plugged in.
    That's when I take off the battery (always plugged power) who, after 5 seconds the laptop powers off.

    It's not happened before and now it happens ALL the time every time I have to remove the battery.
    I noticed that when the battery is removed, the battery light is always on – if for some reason any cell phone still thinks the battery is connected.

    For me, it looks like an electronic power supply problem.

    But it s just my personal opinion

    I think that the laptop should be checked by an authorized technician.

    Contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification

    If the warranty is valid then an everything should be done for free
