I have a querry regarding manually being able to switch between graphics on a laptop.
Now consider a new Laptop having i3 processor and ATI graphics, but without having the Switchable graphics functionality.
So in the Device Manager it will show as only the ATI graphics being present.
It is well known that the i3 processor comes with its own Intel HD graphics.
Now If i were to uninstall the ATI driver and then next install the Intel graphics driver, will the ATI card be disabled and thus in turn enable the integrated Inel HD graphics.
So in this way you would manually be able to switch between the graphics card by uninstalling & installing the required drivers. I know it seems a totally unnecessary solution, because then why would u buy the gfx card in the first place. But consider that you are tight on battery, then this would provide a hard but eligible means of increasing battery time.
Is this at all possible or is it just a very wild shot into the dark
