How to Check Laptop GPU & Graphics

Buying a laptop for gaming or video editing? Learn how to verify the dedicated graphics card.

Dedicated vs Integrated Graphics

Most standard laptops have "Integrated Graphics" (like Intel UHD or Iris Xe), which are fine for office work but terrible for gaming or video editing. If a seller claims the laptop is for "gaming", it must have a "Dedicated GPU" (like NVIDIA GTX/RTX or AMD Radeon).

How to Check Manually (Windows)

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  2. Go to the Performance tab.
  3. Scroll down on the left side. If you see GPU 0 and GPU 1, the laptop has a dedicated graphics card.
  4. Click on the GPU to see its exact model name (e.g., NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060).
