Disabling in Device manager

Does this cut the power of the component too? (such as graphics card)
I have 2. One power hungry, and one for browsing.
The power hungry one still eats a chunk of watts while idling.

No, as long as a power connector is plugged in the component will draw power. device manager is just telling your OS how to view that piece of hardware.

Okay, too bad :-(
