Power saving with GPU

I use this script in /etc/acpi/battery.d to lower my ATI gpu
frequency :

$ cat fglrx_power_state.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/aticonfig --set-powerstate=1

It could save W !!! Since freq is 400MHz normally and becomes 100MHz
with this call.

You can place in /etc/acpi/ac.d the inverse :

$ cat fglrx_power_state.sh 
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/aticonfig --set-powerstate=2


Do you know the same for NVIDIA ?

Best regards,
Michel
