Yeah, they're still active if you don't disable it. If you plug the DP into the motherboard on Ryzen 7000/9000 CPUs, you can actually play on your graphics card through the motherboard :D
 
I'd disable it anyway, IGPU don't have their own memory so windows will likely be reserving some GBs for it

Task manager > Performance > memory.
shows on there hardware reserved at the bottom right

My cpu seemed to be running slightly higher in usage to unit I disabled it. Not my much though.
