Hi all, is it possible to turn off your video card and run the display from the onboard video?
This would be a great power saver when using the PC to download etc and for non-graphics based applications.

Thanks
Martin

As the poster above said, only by removing it.

It won't draw a massive amount of power if only displaying boring windows stuff anyway. :)
