<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I see my NVIDIA GPU uses like 12 to 15 W of power, when in battery mode, while the total power consumption reported by powerstat is 28W!</p> <p>Is there any way to turn off/suspend only the gpu, and manually wake it, only when I need it?</p> <p>​</p> <p>Also, I see xorg using my GPU, even though my display is rendered with iGPU. Does that contribute to the GPU being awake all the time? Is there a way to disable that?</p> <p>​</p> <p>Note - My laptop dosen't have optimus</p> <p>​</p> <p>Edit: Is there any way to have only compute stuff, and not the graphical stuff in nvida driver install? I use my GPU only for compute on Linux.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SuperSecureHuman"> /u/SuperSecureHuman </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r4w5h1/power_saving_tips_nvidia_eating_my_battery/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/r4w5h1/power_saving_tips_nvidia_eating_my_battery/">[comments]</a></span> |
