macOS with the little boot-arg called <code>-wegnoegpu</code> from WhateverGreen. But one small problem, the dGPU is still pulling power draining your battery slowly. We'll be going over 2 methods for disabling the dGPU in a laptop:</p> <ul><li><a href="/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Laptops/laptop-disable.html#optimus-method">Optimus Method</a></li> <li><a href="/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/Laptops/laptop-disable.html#bumblebee-method">Bumblebee Method</a></li></ul> <p>Note that this is not needed for install, but recommended for post-install</p> <h2 id="optimus-method"><a href="#optimus-method" class="header-anchor">#</a> Optimus Method</h2> <p>How this works is that we call the <code>.off</code> 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:</p> <p>To start, grab <a href="https://github.com/dortania/Getting-Started-With-ACPI/blob/master/extra-files/decompiled/SSDT-dGPU-Off.dsl.zip" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SSDT-dGPU-Off.dsl<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" aria-labelledby="outbound-link-title" role="img" focusable="false" x="0px" y="0px" viewBox="0 0 100 100" width="15" height="15" class="icon outbound"><title id="outbound-link-title">(opens new window)</title> <path fill="currentColor" d="M18.8,85.1h56l0,0c2.2,0,4-1.8,4-4v-32h-8v28h-48v-48h28v-8h-32l0,0c-2.2,0-4,1.8-4,4v56C14.8,83.3,16.6,85.1,18.8,85.1z"></path> <polygon fill="currentColor" points="45.7,48.7 51.3,54.3 77.2,28.5 77.2,37.2 85.2,37.2 85.2,14.9 62.8,14.9 62.8,22.9 71.5,22.9"></polygon></svg></a></p> <p>Next we need to get on Windows, and head to the following:</p> <div class="language- extra-class"><pre class="language-text"><code>Device Manager -&gt; Display Adapters -&gt; dGPU -&gt; Properties -&gt; Details &gt; BIOS device name
