At one point, vm finance told us that computer has an Nvidia graphics 
processor:

Maybe that's true. Maybe that computer has both that and an Intel 
graphics processor that's part of the main processor.

A web search finds that Lenovo used to sell a ThinkPad P52S, but doesn't 
anymore. Ads for that computer confirm that it has "Pro-level NVIDIA® 
Quadro® P500 graphics", and say the processor is an Intel i7-8550U, 
which includes "Intel® UHD Graphics 620", which apparently is a graphics 
processor packaged with the main processor.

So, vm finance, it looks like that computer has two graphics processors. 
Which one do you want to use? I guess the Nvidia graphics processor is 
probably faster.
