Correct, I’m on i7 laptop with legacy GTX 1060, but it’s more than enough for common use.
Starting from 525.125 Nvidia drivers behaviour of PowerMizer changed and GPU power consumption become too aggressive. Even with adaptive configuraton it switches on maximum performance level and heats up the card pretty good and unnecessarily burns power even if start nvidia-settings (which is critical when on battery). With other apps like browser, messanger, development app for working or just some classic game where graffic performance is not necessury - driver keeps max performance constantly.

Hope Nvidia get this fixed in new driver versions. For now, as many other people, we are limited with 525.125 and have to modify new kernels to setup it.
