Also since Windows 10 all power plans are derived from the Balanced Mode, if you have the power slider available (the slider when clicking the battery tray icon). If you run too hot you risk getting power limit or thermal throttled which is counter-productive. * = You can try to use "Maximum Performance" but I prefer balanced as it does not heat up the Laptop as much and still delivers the highest clock rates ingame when required. Select Change "Settings for the Plan: Balanced Mode"Įnable Panel Self Refresh (disable it if you get occasional display flickering!) Note for PCs: Just set to Maximum Performance Note: The 3D Tab can be pretty much ignored as any setting should be at "Application default" by default and "Application Optimal Mode" does not really make a difference, just leave it on. Right click on the desktop and open Intel Graphics Settings

If everything worked you should have a "Intel Graphics Settings" menu entry when doing a right click on the desktop.

Go to the Intel Download Center and download the correct driver for your CPU/GPU. You want to get rid of that one and use the latest official Intel driver. Many Laptop OEMs use a customized Intel video driver which is tweaked towards battery saving.
