Nevermind, I now realize what you are talking about. I believe after reboot it's not even recognizing the card since it doesn't even show up on dmesg. I imagine that means it shouldn't be consuming power, havn't had time to test that out. If you're only running Linux this shouldn't be a problem, but according to someone else after they reboot and load Windows, it won't recognize the dGPU either.
