How do I find out which graphics card I have?

The easiest way is to click start> run and then type dxdiag in the little box. Click OK.


When the DirectX console opens, give it a few seconds until it has read your system components. From this screen you can tell your operating system (Windows XP Professional in this case).


Then click on the display tab (where the arrow is). You should now see a screen which tells you the manufacturer of your graphics card, and what the model number is (in this case, an Nvidia FX5200). There is also a section about driver version, it looks complicated but if I take the last four figures I can see that I have the 84.21 drivers.


You may like to write down your operating system, card name and driver version.
