From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

First check if the games are using the GPU. I had an issue where everything would launch with integrated graphics only.
Actually, the computer only has integrated graphics because it's a laptop.
My laptop has two graphics cards lol but I totally get what you meant
Do they make laptops that have two GPUs or are you using an external GPU?

It's not uncommon. The main use is running the powerful GPU only in games and such, while using the other one the rest of the time, to reduce power consumption, heat and noise.

Bought a laptop with two pre built. Dedicated and a 1080ti it's not amazing but it does what I need it to do lol
What? How large is you laptop?? When you say "two graphics cards", do you mean two GPUs or two full boards?
It's pretty common for a laptop to have a dedicated gpu, plus the integrated gpu that's actually part of the cpu.
