If you need to update drivers for a video card, or understand whether it makes sense to buy any new game with high system requirements, you should know the model of your video card. It is very easy to recognize her.
Necessary
- - computer
- - Windows operating system
Instructions
Step 1
From the Start menu, select Run … or use the Winkey + R keyboard shortcut.
A command entry field will open. Enter the command "dxdiag" and press the Enter key. If at this stage the system asks whether to check the drivers for WHQL compliance, click the "no" button.
Step 2
The DirectX Diagnostic Tools window opens with information about the system and multimedia capabilities. Go to the "Display" tab. In the "Device" block, you will see a description of your video card: name, manufacturer, type of microcircuits, and so on. This will be enough to describe the model of your video card. For example, NVidia GeForce 8500GT with 512 MB of memory.
