Hi everyone,

I just bought a used MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013) the thing is in the system information it shows that I have a intel iris pro graphics card and when I open the system report it says I have a NVIDIA GeForce graphics card too, I got it recently reinstalled the operating system so my question is

Do I need to do something else to use the Nvidia graphics card or dit I just bought a defective laptop?

Or maybe I just doesn't have an Nvidia at all,

How do I know?

There's nothing wrong. That's the way it shows on all Mac laptops with a separate video card.

Ok thank you, now another question, what is the average temperature you've got with Big Sur on this MacBook, right now it's on 55 celsius but it can get well beyond 80 when under load I need to know if I should change the thermal paste
