Nvidia GPU never idling
Hi,
I have a problem since a long time with my dual GPU strategy in my XPS 9500.
Basically the NVIDIA (GTX 1650ti) does not go to idle even if no program is using it (I look at the activity icon).
As you can see from the picture below all clocks are at their max...This destroys both my battery life and also temperature.
Drivers are up to date....The only way I found to solve this is to disable the GPU via device manager.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply!
I don't use it mainly but sometimes it would be convenient to have on 3d modelling or sporadic photo editing.The thing is that it shouldnt require a workaround after you paid for it...
Latest bios version 1.19 should be. But this is an issue i have since long time.
I also don't know if this only happens to me (maybe because of a specific software) or if it is a common problem

You said you've had this issue for a long time, did the laptop come with this issue or how long after you got the laptop did the issue develop (and how old is the laptop now)?

Do you ever use the nvidia GPU or mainly just integrated? (If you never use the nvidia GPU, just keep it disabled) What BIOS revision are you running?
