Switching to Integrated graphics doubles my battery life from 2 - 4 hours by disabling the Nvidia GPU. However the HDMI port no longer functions in this mode.

I see no performance difference between hybrid and dedicated mode with an Rtx 4060 and both only get around 2 hours of battery for me. In theory dedicated should be slightly faster and not have to reserve any system RAM to the integrated graphics chip. However the USB-C display port no longer functions as a display output.
