Much Worse than Expected Battery Life on Razer Blade 15

Check all the Windows Power Settings as well as Razer Synapse to see that things are not set to Gaming or max performance, taking more energy than they should. The culprit is MSI Afterburner's constant monitoring of the dedicated GPU messing with Nvidia Optimus. You can either close Afterburner or Pause the Monitoring and the battery will increase. Even when MSI afterburner is set to be opened with the iGPU, the monitoring software on Afterburner is waking the dGPU every second to, well ... Monitor the GPU sensors, thus, being activated and drawing power. I recently noticed that on my blade and as soon as I closed Afterburner my battery started lasting from 5 to 6 1/2 hours. Looking online, the afterburner programmers are aware of this issue and don't have any plans on fixing it since "Afterburner was never supposed to be supported on Laptops" Anyways
