How do you check which graphics card you have?

Answer 1

go into control panel, find the hardware list (4 got name), flick through the hardware connected to your computer until you find it under graphics card, or search for something that's named like ati radeon 9600 series or geforce 56oo fx

Answer 2

On the internet (preferably Google), search for and install "Advanced Windows Care 2 Personal". When you open the program, there is display of your OS, processor info, Graphics card, and ram. Also you get your computer optimized for free.

If you have vista on the other hand, just click system information on windows help and support.

Answer 3

A PC can't work without a graphic card, you either can have on-board graphic card or a standard graphic card that mounts on motherboard just like other parts.

The standard on-board video display of most PCs is of very low quality, barely able to cope with VGA graphics, and probably limited to 640*400 or similar display settings. In general, if your display is very grainy, with large pixels, and you cannot run any of the games requiring a video card, you probably are running on the onboard video.

If a video card is installed, this could be a hardware fault or a driver issue. Else, make sure someone with technical knowledge takes a look under the hood.

To check about the graphic card you do the following: Go Start>Run>Type dxdiag , when a window appears> Go Display and there it shows the information about graphic card.

Answer 4

If you see no physical damage the only way to tell is to use it in a system. If you sense that the card isn't working right or if the system crashes while doing any extensive with video/graphics then it is most likely damaged.
