What VideoCard do I have?

[worldpease]

Hi guys, this question is related to gaming, but since its about my hard ware I decided to put it here,
I would like to know if there is a way to know what video card am I using on my PC, something that says the specs or the name or ID, I don´t know how you measure the capacity of it, but I think this info can be of use if I want to get games, specialy the more graphic advanced ones.
Thanks!

going into the control panel,click on "System",then find Hardware,next you click on "Device Manager".Under display adapter will be your graphics hardware.Tell then adieu..


P.S PM porfavor world.Hasta luego.

If you need more detail, go to Start > accessories > system tools > system information > components > display

Download/install Everest Home Edition (http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en) .
It can tell you just about anything ( prolly more than you want to know really) about the hardware/software environment of your PC.

yup, nice app, even though i been usin sandra for a bit now

only thing is, how do you NOT know your vid card? :blink:
i am guessing you didnt buy an agp or pci, so...
if you have an OEM PC (compaq, dell, etc)
you're on intergrated (onboard) video most likely
