SystemCrash86 Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I have a laptop that runs the latest version of Kali (as of 15/06/23 anyway) and with this being a laptop i need to save as much power as possible. I have in place bbswitch and bumblebee which turn off my nvidia gpu when not in use. This laptop has intel and nvidia gpu's I also use autocpu-freq and tlp to help with the power management. After all this i get about 3 or 3.5 hours of battery life. This is fine until i need to watch a small video, then my nvidia gpu starts and my battery level decrease dramatically. I use vlc but happens with some others i have tried. Does anyone know of a way or a media player that does not invoke my nvidia gpu, maybe a way to let my intel gpu take care of it instead Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaKing Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I thought that switching between GPUs was only available on Windows. I did, however, find this: https://wiki.debian.org/NVIDIA Optimus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
