Does discrete GPU use more battery?
Discrete graphics can be more powerful, but can also acutely reduce the battery life of any notebook even if graphic intensive processes are not running. This is largely due to the raw speeds and die sizes of discrete graphics chips, thus these chips demand more power from the battery just to keep them running idle.
How do I stop my graphics card from saving power?
The Intel built in GPUs have names like Intel HD Graphics 620, etc. If your CPU has that and it also has another GPU seperately from Nvidia or AMD, then you can go into Device Manager, find the seperate GPU and right-click – disable it. In that case only the built-in one will be used.

Does the nvidia card drop task work?
It worked a few moments (at lower FPS than when both GPU are connected and when Nvidia don’t delegate the task yet to another card), but after a short instant, the Nvidia Card dropped task and I got lower FPS than ever before (1 to 5 FPS), as it seemed to hand the baton to a generic copy of the card, or maybe graphics chipsets.
