You can try using Bumblebee[1] or Ironhide[2], as they seem to be coming along fairly well.

Bumblebee did show some improvement but even if I use bumblebee-disablecard the powertop program still reports 18.7Wh drain of battery. In windows it is about 12-13. Difference of about an hour.

Will try ironhide.
