Is there any way to find out? I have a Dell 3350 with integrated Intel HD Graphics and a discrete AMD HD 6490. I'm
interested in the Windows method.

Does the video card driver show this?

I have two cards, and the card being used is shown in the "Settings" of the Desktop Properties. (But I have two AMD Radeon HD - in the drop-down list for different displays - different cards)
You can try to look at "Advanced" in the same place.

There is one way that will tell you for sure, I did this when I was trying to figure out which of the two cards worked. The problem was that they had the same name.
So, Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Drivers
If you disable the working video card driver, the result will be on the screen.
Only now I launched it again at the same time rearranging the cards, I don’t know if there is a way to do it differently, so I don’t advise if there is no such possibility.

Right click on the desktop -> switchable graphics -> there in the center it will be written what is enabled. High performance gpu = AMD, Low performance gpu = Intel.
