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!
