So I am trying to disable my Nvidia Graphics card using this guide
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-disabling-discrete-graphics-in-dual-gpu-laptops.163772/
Whenever I save my .dsl files as .aml files there is no changes in the .aml file i.e it is the same as unpatched .dsl file.
This is what actually happens
Instead of
Code: 
 If (LEqual (OSYS, 0x07D9))
                {
                    Store (0x07, CSBM)
                }
                Else
                {
                    Store (Zero, CSBM)
                }
                //added to turn nvidia/radeon off
                If (LAnd(LEqual(Arg0,3),LEqual(Arg1,1)))
                {
                    Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.VGAF)
                    \_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.SCTB ()
                }
I get
Code: 
If (LEqual (OSYS, 0x07D9))
                {
                    Store (0x07, CSBM)
                }
                Else
                {
                    Store (Zero, CSBM)
                }

                If (LAnd (LEqual (Arg0, 0x03), LEqual (Arg1, One)))
                {
                    Store (Zero, VGAF)
                    SCTB ()
                }
and instead of
Code: 
{
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._ADR)
            //added to turn nvidia/radeon off
            External(\_SB.PCI0.RP01.PEGP._OFF, MethodObj)
            _OFF()
        }
I get
Code: 
{
            Store (Zero, \_SB.PCI0.RP01.PXSX._ADR)
            _OFF ()
        }
Is this how it is supposed to be or there is some error.Whatever may be the case my Discrete drivers haven't been yet disabled.
I am attaching both my dsl files and aml files.
It will be great if someone can help me out.

It is working.
The code snippets you mention are the same.

If the code is working then why weren't my NVIDIA Graphics disabled yet.My battery life is still very poor and there are 2 Intel 620 sections in the About This Mac>System Report>Monitors/Graphics Tab.
How can I be sure that the graphics cards were disabled?

No "Problem Reporting" files attached.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.164990/
Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

The dual Intel GPU is, as I mentioned, a bug in the specific version of Clover you're using.

I have succesfully updated clover and the Dual intel GPU problem has been solved.Now how do I confirm that the NVIDIA card has been disabled or not.I read about ioreg command but I don't really know how to use it.
