I want to buy a new desktop PC system with haswell processor. Most of the work I do on the PC does not require a dedicated graphics card, but I would like to be able to play the more sophisticated games now and then. To save power consumption, I would like to have the possibility to only use the dedicated graphics card when really needed, as the dedicated graphics card still uses about 80w in idle state (iGPU would be far less I think).
Numerous topics are there about this topic on the web, but I could not find a good solution.
Solution could be to be able to disable the PCIe slot from the motherboard, but I couldn't find a motherboard which has this option. Anyone knows a motherboard for Haswell processors which has this capability?
Another solution would be if the graphics card would be able to redirect tasks to iGPU and disable their own GPU (few years ago nvidia had some solution for this called hybrid boost/power), but I couldn’t find any (recent) graphics cards which support this. Anyone knows a solution with graphic cards?
