FPS being different every game launch

[RA3236]

Hi,

Ive noticed, especially with my laptop being a, well, laptop, that every time my game starts my FPS can change in between game launches by up to 30fps (BTW the max FPS I will ever get in KSP is 40 since I'm using a TV as a screen). I've also noticed that my FPS change when looking at the ground also changes much more than looking at, for example, the Mun from Kerbin. Is there a good explanation for this?

My CPU and graphics are:

2x Intel Core T2 Duo CPU T9300 at 2.50GHz

ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600

Sounds like it's on power saving mode sometimes?

Go to your graphics card control panel and force it to run in "max performance mode" also check your battery/power settings and make sure that isn't set to "power saving mode"

Also, always have it plugged in while you are playing. Also I'm not sure why you only ever get 40fps max due to your TV? I play on a TV screen as well and I don't have any problems. Does it have a low refresh rate? Are you playing with vertical sync on?

NoVSync, everything is max (I'll double check) my FPS decreases with the TV.

And did I mention average is 20fps?
