How do I check to see what Video Card I have?

[enterthemadness]

Was told that it's in My Computer, but can't find it in there. Need to know for a PC game. Wait...might be a graphics card instead.

The game is FEAR...and is for my bro.

Start

type in dxdiag
click no if a pop up comes up
click the display tab


thats your info in all its glory, might want to check your memory spec for FEAR as well

I see it...but don't understand it.

In other words, I fail at computers.

You got to the screen with all the information on it? (Thats the easy part)

On the display tab on that screen (running over the top)

You have Name, Manufacturer, Chip type Memory and your monitor type

My chip type is a Radeon 9800 AGP (thats your type of graphics card and should relate on the back of you game min/max requirements) The other thing is the Cards memory (mine is 128mb) those are the only 2 things you need to know

Yours should say something along those lines, could be a Radeon could be Geforce (might not have one at all then your screwed for that game)

Chip Type: Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller

Approx Total Memory 96.0MB

Am I screwed like a forest that's on fire?

If you don't know what you are doing, you can always open your computer and read what it says.

Not if its built into the motherboard which it looks like this one might be

it mustn't be that great of a Graphic Card if it's built into the motherboard
