Description

Hybrid graphics laptops can switch the NVIDIA card state through a script that uses bbswitch. This is useful for systems where disabling or enabling the discrete GPU affects battery life, heat, or performance.

This is a hardware-control utility. It can affect graphics availability and power behavior, so users should understand their laptop GPU setup before changing card state.
