Each Windows power plan will also adjust the processor performance of your ma-
chine in order to save power. This is worth bearing in mind if you are experiencing
any reduced performance (especially under DC/battery power).
Choose High performance (you may need to click Show additional plans to view
the High performance plan) for maximum performance when the computer is pow-
ered from an AC power source. Choose the Power saver (bear in mind that this
scheme may slow down the overall performance of the computer in order to save
power) for maximum power saving when the computer is battery (DC power) pow-
ered (see sidebar for UMA Mode power plan information). The recommended Bal-
anced power plan will balance power saving and performance.
UMA Mode Power Plan
UMA Mode is used for con-
stant power-saving with the
integrated GPU only. The
UMA Mode power plan’s
standard settings are also
configured to save the
maximum amount of power
if selected.
