Hello,
That's not at all a GPU on a chip... That is an adapter.
The chip is a simple video decoder and does not do compute your graphics. That's what the link given explains.
The graphics desktop composition is done by the GPU in the machine. Windows gives it the job to do.

But, some games bypass the Windows desktop manager to improve performance and that's where we get the pixels from.
That should not be the case anymore in Windows 10, as the graphics architecture has changed.

Which OS are you using?

Kind regards,
Alban
