3d gfx versus energy saving

Asked by Felix

Will Unity burst my gfx card to 3d mode while i am just moving windows around or clicking a button?

I fear a much lower runtime on battery!

(My gfx is a nvidia geforce 8400m)

Video cards do not have a "3D" mode per say. There are power saving levels, in particular you 8400m has 3 power saving levels. Considering how massively overpowered your card is compared to what unity requires, it should not bump it into the next power state.
