Hello! Yes, it’s normal for your Zephyrus M16 to use both the integrated graphics (IGPU) and the 3060 GPU. The display settings in Windows can sometimes switch between them automatically. You can usually adjust the advanced display settings to change which GPU is active when launching a game.

The performance looks decent. You'll notice the iGPU is active, though the details aren't visible. Look at the Processes section, locate the Doom process, and move to the right—it will display the GPU being used.

your iGPU seems to be showing what your dedicated GPU is producing, which means it's being somewhat utilized.

I performed that task and it indicated GPU 0 was being used. Performance felt strong, whereas running the laptop in turbo mode provided better results.

One is likely used for rendering, while the other handles display. They probably alternate between each other to save energy when rendering scenes. You should be able to turn off the iGPU in the BIOS and use only the dedicated one, though this might drain your battery quickly.
