Same here, Asus N550JK with Nvidia 850M. After switch to Intel by
Nvidia-prime and restart, I can see huge consumption, around 22W. When I
disable nouveau completely, by disabling the Nvidia fallback service and
then turning off the GPU using old bbswitch, I get 11W which is normal
for this laptop with turned off GPU. So bbswitch still works, but
vgaswitcheroo doesn't. Pity that bumblebee doesn't work anymore...

  nvidia-prime used to be able to switch off and on NVIDIA dGPU. Now, a
