My laptop has Intel HM87 motherboard that has 3 display ports (1 HDMI, 2 minidisplay). As far as i understand my GPU (970M) does not have any port directly usable. When i connect a monitor to HDMI port i can still run apps (games, video players etc.) by using my GPU by right clicking on the short cut and selecting the "NVIDIA Processor" under the "Run With Graphics Processor" option.
1- Am i really using the GPU since i didnt directly see any connection between HDMI port and GPU or does motherboard deal with that connection and direct it to GPU.
2- How can i understand which display ports are connect to where by looking from OS?
3- Who deals with the graphics when no application is running (I mean desktop)?
