Intel integrated graphics - disabling (?)

[matan129]

hi, I have a Samsung laptop [NP350V5C], which has an intel core i7-36010QM and the GPU is AMD readon HD7670M.
I want sometimes to disable the onboard graphics [intel HD 4000], how do I do that?

thanks for the help!

Why would you want to disable the HD4000? The laptop will switch over to it, this increases battery life.

I know, but I want to do that when plugged in.
I just need a something that can let me manualy toggle between the graphics cards.

It will do it automatically. It would also "save" a bit of life on the 7670m.

Again, I know that, but sometimes I want to manualy toggle it. Is it possible?

I don't think so.

Though you can try Lucid Virtu?

No need for virtu when you can setup gpu allocation in CCC.
