Question

How do i find the type/model of the graphics card on my computer?

Answer 1

right click anywhere on ure desktop then click properties. go to the settings tab and click advanced near the bottom. after that another window will pop up. then just click the adapter tab and it will tell u the graphics card you have.

Answer 2

several ways.  Most cards flash what make/model they are when you first turn on the PC... sometimes the monitor wont warm up quick enough to see it though.

Many times there will be a sticker on the graphics card itself (integrated != card) which will give you the details.

Sometimes Belarc Advisor (software you can download) will tell you what it is.

I'm assuming you don't have the drivers installed and that is why you are asking.

If you do have the drivers installed.  Goto device manager and look under display adapters.

Answer 3

Start > Run > dxdiag > Enter > Display tab
