Installed January Blue drivers on my MacBook Pro 16 inch, i9 5500 4g. But I have problem. When playing more then 3 hours in heavy games like Fry Cray 5 or Metro Exodus my battery starts discharging. Every hour about 5-7%. Important note: the charging cable is plugged into. But the battery charge is still running out.
1. Anyone have the same problem?
2. How I can fix it?
3. Is it critical for computer?
PS.
Sorry for double posting. I am new. So don’t know where better to post.
PSS.
By the way. Is there big difference of FPS with Red and Blue drivers? Cause in Red there is very good utility for gaming.

I have the same MBP. I dont know if it is dischargeing, but when i'm playing CS:GO in Win10 bootcamp, and and plug-in power on 90%, it stays there - or "stalles" . I have disabled turbo-boost, so maybe it would discharge if TB was enabled? I do beleve i have read that for fast chargning you have to plug your charching cable in to the port top left side.. Y dont know if this is true.. Hmmm: There are some toppics on the same issue in the forum on macrumors.com |

its because when you are maxing out the GPU and CPU combined then you are drawing more wattage from the battery than the charger can replenish.

So if I will turn off TB, games will be lagging. 2. What type of drivers do you use? 3. Yep, about side of port it’s true. Cause it’s faster , then the lowest one. The same situation with right side ports. |

Because someone’s on forums suggest to go to Apple Service, because it can be problems with battery. Mac is not a gaming laptop and it only has 90W charging brick while most of other gaming laptops have 100-200W charging bricks (or even 2 bricks!!!). Macbook pro 16 is really powerful machine, but it's heavily optimized on Macos, so you don't feel that drainage there, however once you use Windows the optimization is gone and you kinda can unlock the full potential of this beast. So to answer your question, it's completely normal what is happening. Apple just never gave a powerful power adapter in the first place. |

Yep, that's why I use it for gaming only in Win, and for work in Mac OS. By the way found something interesting. If I put power cable to lowest port - all is good and nothing is discharging. But it has lower speed-data-transfer then the highest. Looks strange a lit of bit. |

The battery drains during high performance operations is due to the power supply not being able to keep up with the power draw, so it starts draining power from the built in battery to compensate.
