Hi,
i'm planning to make a very low noise desktop computer, i found passive psu, very quiet fans, hd noise reducer and so on..
but i can't find a good passive video card. The few passive ones have very low performance and i may have the need of a good gpu.
So my though was "well, i can use the integrated gpu for 0 noise and turn on the discrete card for full power", so i started googling for this.
My first tought was on nvidia optimus but it was a "notebook only" tecnology. The desktop counterpart, "Nvidia Sinergy", seems to be death.
Many people in many forum says that you can use the integrated gpu as main gpu but the discrete one will not powered off, so it will be noisy.
There is a way to manually switch between gpu and igp without rebooting and totally powering off the unused gpu?
thank you!
