At one point, vm finance told us that computer has an Nvidia graphics processor: > I actually have "Pro-level NVIDIA® Quadro® P500 graphics" on my P52S > Thinkpad. 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.
