Disabling and re-enabling Razer Core GPU

[Deuteronomy93]

Hi All

 

Its got to the stage where I'll need to give up my desktop and beloved but dying 295x2 due to moving continents and travelling for work with a new job.

 

I decided to go for a laptop because the company one just isn't good enough for what I need and being able to have a relatively ok gaming experience combined with an ok CPU and build/portability meant I went for a blade pro fhd with a 1060, they just had a decent sale on.

 

I should be fine using the internal 1060 for a couple of months but will be looking at getting the core v2 (not the x) however do have a question on this. Plug and play especially around work really seems like a great option however I want the option to disable the GPU in the core to stop power draw when I'm working whilst still utilising the USB ports/ethernet (maintaining the plug and play at least for work).

 

I'd had a look online about this and apparently people have been turning off their GPUs accidentally due to a popup and had to go into the device manager etc to try and fix it but the threads are incoherent at best..

 

Does anybody have a core and know how easy it is to disable and re-enable the GPU but maintain a USB/Ethernet connection?

 

Many thanks
