   Nope. That particular box has   
      
   CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 4700U (8) @ 2.00 GHz   
   GPU: AMD Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series [Integrated]   
      
   The others are Intel.  I thought I might have had a Nvidia long ago but it   
   was an ATI Radeon 2400 PCIe card. The graphics card died and I remember   
   going around town and finding nothing but rather pricey cards. Amazon to   
   the rescue with a low end card suited to my uses.

   "Since Radeon HD 2400 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might   
   not be able to run all the latest games. "   
      
   Yeah, that's my kind of adapter!
