Whats better for eyes if you work in windows
1) Integrated GPU (AMD in my case)
2) Nvidia GPU (4060 in my case)
Usually i used first option to keep laptop silent, but maybe it is wrong

For the eyes? Do you even know where the image comes from in the first place? A monitor. It's no coincidence that there's a blue light filter in Windows and even on monitors.

There hasn't been much substantiated talk about which dithering techniques are employed by different GPU vendors and if different panel & GPU vendor combinations result in different behavior.
To be specific, there hasn't been raw data (whether with a high-speed camera, oscilloscope and the likes of) It wouldn't be appropriate to fully rely on anecdotal evidence when it comes to this topic.
You're sadly on your own when it comes to this.
It would be better if you'd find out your panel's specific model number first, by finding it on panelook or in a review site such as notebookcheck, before trying anything else.
From there, you can try out different panels and see which your eyes prefer.

He's talking about (temporal) dithering algorithm difference between AMD & Nvidia.

Well intel igpu and even the arc dgpu seem to be the most promising from what I've read. Intel will only dither if displaying to a panel that is 6 or 6+2 frc. Of course a 8+2 frc will dither as well. True 8 panel with Intel shouldn't dither. If it does then it's because the OS is dithering or the panel is using frc. Nvidia and amd seem to be random. There are tools to attempt to disable dithering but doesn't always seem to work. For laptops it's more tricky because it seems the newer laptop panels are using a tcon that causes dithering it's self. Apple for example does and I think it's documented somewhere. For efficiency? Anyways Intel would be my go to.
