Windows 10: I have 2 GPU's on my laptop

hello, sorry in advance if my English isn't good.

I've just bought a laptop with NVIDIA GPU so I could do some graphic work more efficiently.anyway, the laptop arrived today and I noticed I also have 'Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics' installed.

when using the task manager it looks like it only uses GPU 0, which is the Intel one...



what are the consequences of this thing?

how can I bee sure the computer is using the stronger GPU?

do I need to disable one of them? if so, how do I disable the Intel GPU?

Thanks

Core 2 Duo for laptop CQ40-314TU

I have found something about CPU Upgrade on the Intel's Website, the manufacturer of my laptop's chipset (GM45 Chipset). Currently, the CPU which this laptop is using (Dual Core T3400) is NOT in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=35509
The laptop's chipset also support Core 2 Extreme Technology, which I think the latest CPU Technology.
I have another laptop called Acer Aspire 5572ANWXMi that is using the chipset 945GM which support the T7600 (like you suggested) and it is in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22816

I would like to suggest 2 more things if you don't mind,
1. Seat the GPU in another slot, if possible, and see if that helps anything
2. Use the GPU in another system, if possible, this is a step to determine that it is really the GPU and not multiple defective slots or something else from the system.

 

Best laptop under $800??

Well the last one I suggested seems to be the best for 650$
