So, I'm testing my gpu and watching temps and I'm confused about something.

When I have a dual gpu notebook as this one, are both gpus being utilitized?

I ask this because The gpu temps on the integrated unit are reaching 75c, while the Nvidia gpu are only reaching 55-60c.
Yet, I don't read much about the % of usage for the integrated gpu (less than 10%), and the processor cores are showing at 50-60c.

The thing is, if you view the image the dedicated gpu is showing usage, while the integrated is only showing 1%. Yet the dedicated is only 50-60c and the integrated is far beyond that. It's not making any sense. Games are indeed utilizing the dedicated. But, something is affecting the integrated's temps.

I ran PC monitor and watched in my phone as well. It showed the "cpu package" was at 74. But, both cpu cores were only around 60. After looking into it. I determined cpu package must be be the integrated gpu. This is strange either way. I will test with hw monitor once I get home.
