Hello, I was taking a look on my laptop specs, and I noticed I have 2 video cards. Is there a way that I can get my laptop to use just one of those cards? Since one is much better in VRAM than the other one, but shaders are the same.

The likely scenario is that you have an Intel On-Board graphics chip set as well as a discrete graphics card. For power/battery saving purposes, the discrete graphics card is only used when it's graphic capabilities are required (such as playing games). Otherwise, your system defaults to the lower power requirement, Intel chip set to save battery power.
