    Hi to all, I'm new in this forum.

    I bought a laptop Clevo with this configuration:

    Model: P65xHP - CPU 7700HQ - RAM 16GB - Video Card Nvidia 1060 6GB

    In hybrid configuration all monitoring software (like gpuz or msi afterburner) seems to indicate that the nvidia card, when it's in idle mode and I use only integrated intel, is turned on intermittently at intervals of about one second ... the gpu activity icon in status bar is power off and I don't understand if is normal or there are some configuration issue ...
    I post some screen, look at "PerfCap reason" parameter bars ...
    It's normal? It also does to you?

    (sorry for my bad english :D)

    Have a nice day !!!

    Your 1060 is waking up due to polling from GPU-Z.

    Yes, when the GPU is off, it really is off. Asking it for hardware information requires waking it up.
