I have a laptop with NVIDIA GTX graphics card and Intel Skylake integrated video card. I am using Ubuntu 16.04 with NVIDIA drivers installed. In PRIME Profiles of NVDIA X Server Settings I select Intel to disable the NVIDIA card, right in order to optimize the power consumption of the laptop.
The integrated card is enough for my needs and it adds a lot to my battery life, so my question is, do I actually need to install the NVIDIA drivers? Do drivers do something to disable the card, or is it never brought up if there are no drivers?
