dell inpsiron 5570 usb-c

so i really really want to stop using the integrated gpu and after trying the hdmi cable it seems that that is also connected to the integrated, so im wondering if the usb-c is also connected to that or can i finally use the dedicated gpu without the limitations of integrated one?

    All video connections on this model are hardwired to the Intel GPU.  If you want a direct discrete to display connection, you will need a more advanced notebook than what you have.

    it's just weird that they require the device to have a discrete gpu in order for it to have a usb-c port, only for that port to also be connected to the intel one, kinda dumb.

    Discrete GPU connections are generally higher-end features -- not found in a budget system like the 5xxx series.
