How to identify if my machine has dedicated gpu?

I bought today a 15inch retina macbook pro with 2.5 Ghz i7,512gb ssd, 16gb ram and an nvidia 750m. My problem is I can't seem to find any information about whether my machine has a dedicated GPU or just the integrated iris pro. Everywhere I checked, it seems that there is only the iris pro on this machine, even in the system profiler. It is possible i've been sold a wrong model on purpose(?!)Thanks in advance!

All the 15-inch MacBook Pro's have dedicated GPU's on them. To find the specific model, click the Apple logo on the top left of your screen, go to "About This Mac" then click on displays. There you will see information regarding the GPU your MacBook Pro has.

Note: Your computer will switch between an integrated GPU and a dedicated GPU depending on the task that you are doing (to conserve energy). For more information: MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro with Retina display computers: How to set graphics performance - Apple Support
