The System info doesn't display the Discrete GPU on some hybrid graphics systems. This happens because the dGPU in hybrid systems is listed as a "3D controller" instead of a VGA controller:

if not "VGA" in card:
to
if not "VGA" in card and not "3D controller" in card:
It's not a big deal, but it can confuse some users, especially when they're running in Nvidia/performance prime mode and they only see an Intel GPU listed.
Steps to reproduce
Run 'cinnamon-settings info' or launch through the menu on a system with with hybrid graphics.
Expected behavior
Both GPU's are listed
