Actually calling ACPI methods like this project does is black magic, and it surprised me that it worked for me simply like that. Remember that this comes with NO WARRANTY, so if it does nothing for you, or even freezes your computer, simply do not use it. Seems like your laptop has some other way to turn off the GPU.
