Gaming laptops have two graphics cards onboard. One is the powerful one for gaming - the dedicated GPU, or dGPU for short - and the other is the low power one built into the CPU itself - called the integrated GPU or iGPU for short. For the sake of battery life, the iGPU is the one that runs your displays basically any time you arent gaming, and the dGPU is literally turned off. When you fire up a game though, the dGPU takes over, and renders your game as fast as it can. The problem with having two graphics cards connected to one display is a bit of a tricky one to solve though. NVIDIA came up with Optimus over a decade ago now to do just that. Basically, the dGPUs video signal was routed THROUGH the iGPU, and then to the display. Optimus would control which GPU was the one doing the rendering.
