This is more like a voting about Haswell or other INTEL cpu/gpu users thoughts.
I am using for a month GA-Z87X-UD5H along GTX 1060 6GB as primary VGA.
Since the first second I did disable Haswell on board GPU.
Now I do wonder if I should at least install the INTEL driver, at my Win7 operating system, just in case that I will need to use it, if my primary GPU this stops working for any reason.
The question it might sound as simple, but it is not.
If the INTEL driver this start loading system services even with the INTEL GPU inactive, this is bad news and waste of system resources.
So what do you do at your boxes? do you keep NVIDIA and INTEL drivers installed, even with BIOS disabled INTEL GPU?
