Your Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9E is showing only the Intel UHD Graphics in the KDE InfoCenter. This usually indicates the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 was not detected or disabled. Check the system settings or GPU manager to ensure the card is enabled and properly recognized.

I don’t believe the infocenter is reliable; it likely only displays the first GPU it detects. A complete catalog of PCI/PCIe devices can be obtained via the command line using lspci.

Check your games for GeForce usage instead of Intel.

To check your GPU usage, use nvtop and press F2 to select the desired GPUs.

Only displays a single GPU, is I missing something?

You updated the drivers, restarted the system, and switched the NVIDIA driver again. This resolved the issue so both graphics cards appear correctly in KDE and NVidia tools.
