Hi, I’m able to play this game with medium-high settings at stable 40fps but battery life is not great then I realized that I can limit TDP so I did it with 11w. Still 40fps but much better battery life. My question is why FPS is not changed with TDP limit and increased my battery life?

    It’s pretty game dependent, but when capped at 40 fps you can get away with lower power draw because it’s less demanding on the hardware to run at 40 vs 60.

    I do this with lots of games, cap somewhere between 40-50hz depending on how demanding the game is, then find the lowest tdp I can run with the game still having a stable frame rate. Great way to save on battery life.
