30 fps in P2D or P3D rendering on battery mode

Per

Hi!

I just switched to windows after many years on mac. When Im on battery mode and render on the GPU with P2D or P3D I only get 30fps while I get 60 fps with normal renderer.

Im using a great laptop with 1070 graphics card. As soon as i plug the cable back on it gives me 60fps again.

I guess it is something with the energy saver mode that kicks in when Im without a cable? I browsed through Nvidia controlpanel but didnt found any settings that solved this issue.

Anyone who experienced the same thing?

void setup() {
  size(1920, 1080, P3D);
}

void draw() {
  background(0);
  text("FPS :" + frameRate, width/2, height/2);
}

Interesting.... never notice this before. I just ran your sketch and no effect on my end in either case. Windows 10 x64 here btw and NVIDIA Quadro K2100M (to be confirmed)

Found the problem. It was the power management. It works when I changed to best performance here:
