Already tried this https://github.com/bayasdev/nvidia-gpu-off without success.
Ok so i found a way, a pretty easy one indeed, to do it. You have to install nvidia drivers. You could say that it easy, and you would be wrong. It needs an old nvidia version that is not supported. The graphic card is an nvidia gt 330M which means you need nvidia driver 340.x version. But that version, if you try to install from nvidia page, doesn't work with linux kernel higher than 4.4. So i found this https://github.com/MeowIce/nvidia-legacy . This repository has a version of that nvidia driver with support for 5.10+ kernel. So you just have to install the .run and then use nvidia-smi -i 0000:xx:00.0 -pm 0 where xx is your nvidia card pci ID (you can find it with lspci | grep NVIDIA. After that you will have your graphic card turned off.
