I haven't checked if "disabled" (not initialized) dGPU consumes less
power than "enabled" (initialized) but not used dGPU. But I think such
a config is needed - also because if MULTIPLE_VGA_ADAPTERS is enabled
I have to load a discrete GPU VBIOS to ACPI VFCT instead of integrated
to make a dGPU working, because if I try to load them both it doesn't
end well (discrete GPU not working and maybe the other problems). But
if a person does not have a discrete GPU, his ACPI VFCT tables
wouldn't be filled with anything at all, because I haven't figured out
how to - if MULTIPLE_VGA_ADAPTERS is enabled for all the G505S
(with/without dGPU) - how to check if one has a physical GPU attached
to that "device pci 2.0" PCI bus.

Maybe we should find a way to create a single ACPI VFCT table for two
VBIOSes, however I don't know anything about it and everything seems
to work without that, so guess it could wait. Meanwhile it works fine
if I do VFCT only for discrete in case of "with-dGPU G505S".

I hope to submit these modified HJK patches today after some final
cuts. Luckily they are working without any SeaBIOS changes

Best regards,
Mike Banon
