AMD and Intel GPU both being used at the same time
Hey, I have a Dell inspiron 5570, it comes with a dual GPU setup, one is Intel HD Graphics, the other is AMD 530. I installed arch on this laptop and I got horrible battery life, checked on powertop and turns out both GPUs are being used:
100.0% PCI Device: Intel Corporation Device 5917
100.0% PCI Device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Topaz XT [Radeon R7 M260/M265 / M340/M360 /
I tried all the methods from the wiki, first I tried to do a hybrid setup, then I tried disabling the AMD GPU completely, though nothing worked. I have arch on a USB too, and for some reason the AMD GPU isn't enabled there and battery life is excellent.. what should I do?
