A few recommendations for setting up Nitro 5
I'm new to pc gaming.
I've just took delivery of my Acer Nitro 5, i7, RTX4060 144w.
I'm finding the battery life is very poor when just internet browsing. Just over 2 hours. Also The Witcher 3 framerate is a bit choppy.
My question can anyone recommend some settings I should change in the nvidia control panel or Nitro Sense.
I won't lie coming from console I'm a bit overwhelmed

Battery life of two hours with such a powerful GPU is normal, it is recommended to have your adapter or USB-C charger plugged in 24/7. If want to use your laptop on battery only reduce the display refresh rate to 60 Hz, reduce brightness to 50% and switch Power Plan to Balanced with the Battery Saver on at 20% charge while disconnecting all USB devices and you should get 4-5 hours battery life. Don't use battery limiters or the option to limit charging to 80% in Acer Care Center.
To increase fps simply increase the display refresh rate from 60 to 120 Hz or higher if your screen supports 144 Hz.
