I need help

[Nicholas15]

I want to upgrade my gpu, this is the first time I have bought a gpu on its own, I went into system and looked at device manager, then display adapters too find out what card I have atm but it tells me I have 2, I clearly only have one however, It says I have an AMD Radeon R7 200 series and a Intel® HD Graphics 4600, can anyone help me?

intel hd is what is on your cpu. you can turn it off in BIOS however for your exact gpu download gpu z and it will tell you everything

What is?

That's your graphics card. The Intel is the iGPU in your CPU.

Okay thanks, Is that my gpu? a AMD R7 200 series?

The Intel HD Graphics is the one that comes with your CPU. It is a GPU, but on your CPU. You know those DVI,VGA, and HDMI ports on your motherboard you never use? Yea, that's what they're for. Don't use them. The R7 200 Series is your actual dedicated GPU, and the one you should be plugging stuff into. 

 

If you're still on an R7 2xx GPU, a good upgrade might be an R9 380.

How can I tell what GPU I actually have?

The GPU that you're using is the one your monitor is plugged into. If it's plugged into the motherboard, you're using the Intel HD graphics. If it's plugged into your GPU, you're using the AMD R7 2XX graphics.
