If yes, what's the model?

It can be hit or miss with lshw whether you get meaningful product/vendor details. In your cases you're getting a mixed bag of results. The NVidia hardware is too generic, the Matrox seem pretty dead on as to what hardware version it is:

   product: NVIDIA Corporation
   vendor: NVIDIA Corporation

   product: G200eR2
   vendor: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd.

I've had better luck with just using lspci for this instead:

The key thing to do with `lspci`

AS you can see the above has much more detail about the video card.

please see my addition. It doesn't look like a GPU installed. right? — user697911, Aug 11 '18 at 02:50
@user697911 - was there no output regarding the video card when doing lspci -vvv? If that's truly all the output you received, there's no GPU listed. — slm, Aug 11 '18 at 02:51
But these are our new machines and they are supposed to be GPU servers. Any other command to check? — user697911, Aug 11 '18 at 03:01

Please go to BIOS Settings to ensure that Dedicated GPU is enabled. If Dedicated GPU is disabled by mistake in BIOS. Commond lspci won't show GPU details.

Once sure that dedicated GPU is enabled do step as suggested by slm
