Reply to comment by WeirdGamerAidan in ELI5: Why do computers need GPUs (integrated or external)? What information is the CPU sending to the GPU that it can't just send to a display? by WeirdGamerAidan

I don't recall if in task manager it shows it's using the gpu

Interesting, and also quite strange. What CPU do you have?

Uuh I think it's an i7 but I'm not at home rn so I can't check. I'll try to find the laptop online and see what the cpu is. If it helps task manager displays the integrated graphics as "intel hd graphics 620"

Online search was partly successful. It is either an i7-7500U, i5-8250U, i5-7200U. Iirc I think it's the i5-8250U
