[Resolved] Gaming while FW battery is above maximum allowed charge tanks GPU power
It's not just the game, it's the entire computer that slows down. I was on a Discord call at the time, and they said my voice went robotic as soon as it happened. This issue happens intermittently and doesn't appear to have any specific trigger that I can tell.
I can't figure out what's happening. I've checked:

and should therefore affect all FW16 users
