Blade 16 RTX 4090 2023 - battery drain when connected to AC when playing games | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

I was scared when I per accident deleted the disk with my windows partition on for linux. There are loads of horror stories where the recovery USB you could download doesn’t work. It  worked like a charm, I updated all drivers, windows etc. All seemed ok until I played a game.

 

Seems there is a big battery drain when using the dGPU even when connected to battery. First symptom was with synapse 3 that it said my laptop was not getting enough power. Even when using the OEM 330w brick. I upgraded to synapse beta and the error went away. The battery drain stayed.

 

So I googled more and oh boy is this a common occurrence.  Would hope we can solve this as smooth as the restore.

I know this is a month old but my Blade 16 4090 also does this… so far only in FFXIV but after about 8+ hours of nonstop gaming my battery will be at about 50%. Not sure how normal this is...
