Erazer Major x10 disable Arc A730m

[kStor2poche]

Hi, I'm currently trying to use this laptop with linux, and while plugged-in usage is a blast, on-battery usage doesn't last long because of the A730m's idle power consumption.

I couldn't find a way to shut it down in the uefi bios. Is there a way to access some kind of advanced options that I didn't find, where I could turn the GPU off ?

Also, if you have any documentation on the acpi call to make in order to disable this gpu that you can disclose, I would gladly take it.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, with some tinkering, I managed to turn it down without tinkering in the bios by toggling powertop's tunables to "good" (i.e. echo 'auto' > '/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/power/control'; for my Arc A730m specifically) all the while having i915 and xe modules unloaded for this card seems to successfully power it down, bringing my power consumption down to just below 10W at idle!
