    I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but sorry if it was.
    I've looked all over Google for this.

    I just want to know if you can under voltage the gpu so that it uses the power of a integrated chip. I'm only going to do it when on battery so battery performance does not matter.

    I need some kind of program like rmclock that works for gpus.

    It underclocks automatically on battery power. If you run nvidia system monitors you can see the downclocking in action. The only time the clocks are at the factory rateds speeds 500/800/1250 is while gaming or performing another heavy GPU related task.

    So there is nothing beyond what happens when you switch to battery?
    You can't slow it down more.
