You can't. 
Aw come on now. Have we no hope??? There may be a way somehow. 
You can disable it by selecting Single-GPU rendering and disabling it from the device manager but it would still be sucking power and the fan would still be running so you'll have to remove and store it in order to save it's lifespan.

Right Right. It sure would be nice to be able to disconnect the power to your pci-e via software somehow though huh?
