How this works is that we call the `.off` method found on Optimus GPUs, this is the expected way to power off a GPU but some may find their dGPU will power back up later on. Mainly seen in Lenovo's, the Optimus method should work for most users: How this works is that we call the `.off` method found on Optimus GPUs, this is the expected way to power off a GPU but some may find their dGPU will power back up later on.

With some machines, the simple `.off` call won't keep the card off properly, that's where the Bumblebee method comes in. This SSDT will actually send the dGPU into D3 state being the lowest power state a device can support.
