Turn off GPU on my Dell M4400?

Hello,

I asked myself if it is possible to use my M4400 without GPU. I don't know how this could be achieved and if it is possible with a M4400.

Thank you!

First to reduce heat and thus fan speed. Second to extand battery duration.

Well. I think it would depend on if your laptop has another video device. And what I mean is, if that GPU is the only device that has the ability to render, then no.

I think it would be very very difficult to do. Sorry for being so negative.
