ASUS ROG 30FPS LOCKED WHILE ON BATTERY??

[Frost]

i have an ASUS ROG GL553VD and the fps locked in 30fps while on battery mode :/ weird.. any possible idea how to fix it?

I get the same thing with my ROG G14 in 2021. Its a pretty good laptop but you need to keep it plugged in if you want to game in over 30 FPS. Even on better performance power mode the battery runs out VERY quick and games will still play at only 30 FPS. Still, its a very light notebook with an RTX card and an 8 core processor, so I understand.

Open nvidia experiance thing and raise the limit on the battery booste thing. You still wont get plugged in performance (no way a battery can output enough power$ and ur battery life will decrease.

Nvidia control panel u can raise the fps for when running on battery power.

[_I_]

cant if the battery is not strong enough to deliver enough current to power the cpu/gpu at full load

No; that's an FPS Limiter is all that is. Can set every PC to MAX FPS = 999; that won't help you in anyways except run the CPU + GPU as high of a load as possible, thus as high of an FPS as the hardware could run the game and such.

What you must do is change Windows Power Options to High Performance before running games, this does help, always. Also setting NVIDIA control panel > Manage 3D Settings > Power = Prefer Max Performance.

However on a Laptop you are limited when on Battery, nothing you do will change this.
When on Battery the BIOS forces the CPU and GPU to run at lower clocks due to power limits of the battery output.

Pretty much only Laptops I've used that have a battery that can run games while on Battery is Alienware. But still why bother. All you will get is maybe 2-3 hours of gameplay max.

You can change the power settings all you want, but on most nvidia laptops the battery boost and whisper mode would need to be changed to get over 30 fps on battery.
Sure, like u and myself done said, most wont give full wall plug performance due to limitations of the max size battery, and many manufacturers place even smaller batteries in for weight/thinness. So if a game is locking to 30fps, its prob not the power settings.

The frame limiter in NCP is fairly new, the battery boost and whisper mode though has been around since at least the 1000series laptop gpus.

i already found a fix for me.

If u have GeForce Experience installed, go to Settings -> General -> BATTERY BOOST -> OFF (or if u want to limit it to 60FPS u can pull the slider to 60FPS).

This setting is always automatically turned on whenever i install GeForce Experience.

just bought a asus rog flow x13 and was confused why my frames were capped at 30fps. this actually fixed it for me. thanks g

Gaming laptops shouldnt even have a battery really, as it drains too fast, like battery technology was still in its infancy.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Laptops were not designed to run demanding apps/games while running off the Battery.
It should give you a good couple hours if you limit the power and cpu clocks a bit.

Playing most games on Laptops demands that you plug it into wall power.

Many Gaming Laptops require at least 120 watts to run full power across all the hardware within such as CPU + GPU (especially the GPU at high loads). The battery however can only do maybe 50-60 watts for most of them. So this is why the Laptop Firmware is hard-coded to reduce CPU + GPU performance while running off the battery.

And if you need full Laptop wall power while in a vehicle, get yourself a decent Power Inverter so you can use your wall plug power adapter while in a vehicle. Years ago I bought a power inverter at BJs from around $40. It supported upwards of 350 watts via Cigarette Lighter Plug. Most newer vehicles do not have that anymore, but they should have the same plug that supports 110/220-volts. However for most, the vehicle must be fully running in order to use it, as a safe-guard to not drain the car battery.

Example of Power Inverter with built-in Amp.

Plug in the power suply. It's meant to cut the performance when it's not plugged in to mains power.

is there no other way to unlock the fps while in battery mode? this laptop doesn't have removable battery so it's not meant to be always plugged in :/

Kinda sounds like you think the engineers are morons...

Like you've heard something about batteries and think you have to do all this stuff, or else... and you're convinced it's a good idea AND necessary.

What are the chances the engineers designing a gaming laptop already know that one of the very common uses is the laptop being plugged in so the user can use the high end, power hungry hardware for heavy workloads? Do you think they might have considered that? Especially since this isn't the world's first gaming laptop...

You know what you call a gaming laptop you can't use for gaming is (because it needs to run off the battery most of the time)? A bad product that's going to have awful reviews and a lot of warranty claims...

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Well yes actually it is the fault of these engineers. They are cutting corners.
Laptops such as Alienware for example, all of their models since at least as far back as 2010 or so use a battery fully capable of outputting the full power. However even with that said, you usually only going to get maybe 2 hours of such a battery outputting that much juice while Gaming.

For most other brands such as HP, Lenovo, ASUS, MSI... they have not changed the type of battery they use in their laptops. Some higher end laptops from these brands might have a better batter then say a 400-500$ laptop, much just by capacity (MAH) but not in the technology realm of things. Its more expensive to use better batteries, so they just don't bother using those.

Well that's not quite what I was arguing. OP is claiming he can't run the laptop off AC all the time because of the battery (and concerns over damage). I'm claiming that a gaming laptop is built with the expectation that you'll be running off AC an awful lot, the battery and portability are the secondary concerns. I think some users get it stuck in their heads that they need to micromanage some aspect of the system because everyone else involved with building it are morons.

If using AC power a lot damaged the battery, that's going to lead to a lot of negative reviews and warranty claims. And everyone know not to buy a gaming laptop unless it meets certain conditions...

Opinions about the quality of batteries used in gaming laptops is a different issue I think.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Laptops won't and can't over-charge the battery.
Unlike Mobile Devices where they have a design in-which the Battery is the main power source and when you plug these into wall/usb power, they power is driven through the battery. The battery powers the mobile device, never the external power source. Laptops are designed the other way around. Therefore when your Laptop battery reaches 100%, charging stops. The laptop is always powered off the external power source. The motherboard has logic-switching as a means of switching between external vs internal power source.

So running wall power 24/7 for a Laptop is a non-issue.
That battery will naturally degrade over time whether you use it or not.
Which is why most Laptop makers regardless of your warranty plan, usually will only warranty the provided battery for 1-year.

What do you expect from a laptop?
Impressively fast while wired, but the second it's unplugged, it's a toaster.

I actually looked up a meme i saw once but i can't find it sadly

What is, exactly? Did we learn something new today perhaps?
