So I bought a Predator Triton 500 (Predator PT15-51) . I've notice that the graphics card does not work at full potential when not plug in to the AC, but when plug to the AC, FPS go up very high as it should be. So the question is. Is it normal that the Graphics card dose not behave at full potential when not connected to the AC?

    That is normal. High performance laptops are designed to utilize full performance of the CPU and GPU only when connected to the charger.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Dont play on battery only at all the gaming laptops were not designed to play on battery the battery main purpose its to aid the adapter when this one cannot provide enough power to the gpu/cpu when on high demanding tasks/games
