Alienware Clock Speeds Decrease In GPU
I recently purchased an Alienware m14x, and it runs very nicely. The only problem I have is for some reason when the laptop is running on battery, the framerate drops drastically when gaming. I already made a power plan that uses the GPU at max settings on battery, but it didn't work. I installed MSI Afterburner 2.1.0 and noticed that when the computer is plugged in the Core clock, Memory clock, and Shader clock both go up. When I unplug it, they all drop down a lot. I hope there is a way to control this and if there is a solution please respond! Thanks

I don't own an Alienware laptop, but I believe this topic has been discussed before. The laptop is designed that way as to conserve battery life when on battery only.
Check your manual.

Your battery may just not have the power output ?
I don't know this for sure but seems a possible.
