Yeah you don't have to have anything labeled "Optimus" in the BIOS to have Optimus. You have to check the specs of the computer. In older Computers (e.g. Lenovo T530) you could switch between Optimus and dedicated only. In newer notebooks (starting with Hasewell) there is normally only Optimus (Intel GPU + Outputs, NVIDIA GPU without outputs), if not stated otherwise.
