Razer laptop GPU broken?

OldFord76 · April 19

So I am looking at picking up a Razer Blade 14 from a friend for 600 bucks. It has the RTX 3070, but he says it doesnt work. Pictures hes showed me show that the 3070 isnt listed in Task Manager at all, but it is listed under display adapters in Device manager, and is said to be working properly. Is this something to stay away from, or an easy issue?

I saw someone on the Razer forum with this exact same issue but the post had 0 replies. Figured someone here might know.

Once upon a time, graphics cards weren't shown in Task Manager at all. Feature was added in drivers at some point. Nvidia 600 series I believe was the first? But that is most likely a driver problem, not actual hardware failure.
