So yeah I’m kinda curious what game has given people the longest period they’ve been able to play on SD without needing to plug the charger in. For me, it doesn’t matter if it’s a AAA game, AA or some indie pixelated game that only a couple MB of storage. Most game last a couple minutes, maybe an hour, but it burns out pretty quick. It’s understandable because the SD is doing a lot and they can be taxing but I’m curious how long someone’s managed to last unplugged. Also if there are any ways to improve it outside of getting a portable charger

    I played a vn called subahibi and got it to go to 3.4w before which SD calculated the battery to last for 12-13 hours. The lowest I got for a game with some gameplay was probably Celeste (4-4.2w) at around 9-10 hours while keeping 60fps. Some things I do to increase battery life is by using powertools plugin, usually for indie games I’ll turn on the downclock ram option and reduce threads to 4 while leaving smt on. For AAA games I typically just use fsr and reduce frame rate to 40 or 30.
