I bought new laptop, in specs they had given nvidia GT 740m.

How can I confirm whether this is correct or not? How can I see which graphic card is installed?

In the software manager you can download the Nvidia drivers and control panel. From the control panel it will display information such as the type of card and it's current performance.
