Discrete might be missing the _DOS? I'm not sure how to interpret the gpu related DSL. You can see the dump here https://gitlab.com/asus-linux/reverse-engineering/-/tree/master/uncategorized/GA605WI?ref_type=heads

ssdt1.dsl contains _DOD and looks to be the discrete unit, does not contain _DOS. the dsdt contains both under "Device (VGA)"
