Hi guys!

I purchased a few months ago a new AMD PC, with a 7700 CPU, 32GB of RAM and a 7800XT GPU. I’ve noticed since, that my electric bill has been increased (compared to when I used an Intel i7 6700 with a 1070 GPU), I was wondering, is it possible to use a hybrid GPU setup kinda like laptops, where the iGPU from the CPU is activated for normal tasks, and the discrete GPU is only activated on demand? Would the GPU be unpowered/sleeping in the meantime?

…all this from a Linux perspective, I’m running Nobara 40.

Thanks!

    Has the actual KwH increased on your bill? Power bills are like 50% fees so double check the fees aren’t the thing catching you out.
