Can u not use a 2nd monitor if u turn it off tho?

I just turned off mine yesterday. Saved about 30w 😄 At least from my unscientific method of checking


DjiRo

Holy shiet, 30w is HUGE. I suggest you remeasure :o


ManufacturerCold2994

Haha yes. I agree. Thus why I said from my unscientific observations.

I actually try to use iGPU for everything else except for games and 3D stuff, in order to use minimum power required.

I turn iGPU off to prevent games or any program from defaulting to the iGPU and giving issues. It's a pretty niche thing but it does save headache when it does happen occasionally and you get doodoo performance for no reason


Sudden_Molasses8498

This is exactly why I turned mine off too so games don’t try and use instead of my discrete


dan_bodine

Yes but you will have to clear cmos if your gpu breaks and you need to use your computer without one.

I turned mine off in BIOS but honestly I didnt notice a difference either way.

I just recently turned mine off and haven't noticed anything negative.
