Yes, if you have an Intel CPU most probably you have an iGPU, too. Make sure you're using the RTX 2080 instead of Intel's integrated GPU.
Wipe out all your Intel and Nvidia drivers using the DDU app via safe mode. Once all cleaned, reboot and download and install drivers for...
Intel Chipset INF
Intel HD Graphics (look in device manager prior to wipe to see which intel gpu u have, such as 610/630
Nvidia Mobile RTX GPU series
Might have to reboot after each install completes. Once all these are installed and you've rebooted after the Nvidia is installed, launch nvidia control panel and set the high performance gpu as the default, under manage 3d, global. Then apply.
Bios in laptops usually won't offer much settings and no reason for gpu settings. Today's systems can have two gpu active at all times without issues. But in laptops everything must run through that onboard Intel gpu, so don't disable it. However with the Nvidia being a 2nd gpu, this has to be set as the default for games to see and use it, otherwise it will only use the Intel gpu by default. On Desktops we don't have this issue because the intel and Nvidia can be used independently from one another, based on where the display is plugged into.
Er...
Gaming on battery is ok though if the game isn't very demanding.
And yes, 8th and 9th gen use the UHD 6xx series for onboard gpu.
GPU 0 is the Intel
GPU 1 is the Nvidia
Monitor which is doing what via the GPUZ app. Select the gpu from the drop down menu at bottom and then click the sensors tab. The intel will be used for general os stuff. Apps that use DirectX, OpenGL, Vulkan; should be using the Nvidia if you have the laptop configured properly. Set nvidia cp to use the Nvidia gpu as default. Set classic Control panel power profile to High Performance, at least for when plugged in.
Again you don't buy a laptop to play games while on battery.
Battery use is for working on the go. Plug it in to run games.
When on battery, right or left click the battery icon and switch to either power saver or balanced. When plugged in, especially for gaming, switch back to high performance
