There are several ways to determine the type and model of a video card.
The first, and most straight-forward, is to physically open up the computer case and check the manufacturer, type, and model numbers printed on the card itself. This requires turning off the computer and unhooking all power sources (including the power cord) before opening the case. Once the case is opened, you will usually find the card near the top of the compartment, mounted horizontally in an expansion slot next to the back panel.
Another way to determine the type and model of a video card is to use software tools installed on your computer. Depending on the version of Windows and other software you are using, there are different programs available for this purpose. For Windows 10, you can access the System Information utility by typing ‘msinfo32’ into the search box on the taskbar. This will bring up a window with detailed information about every component in your system, including the type and model of your video card.
If neither of these methods works, you can also try checking your device manager. On Windows, right click the Start button and then select Device Manager from the list of options in the pop-up menu. This will bring up a window displaying all the components currently connected to your computer. The type and model of your video card should be listed under the ‘Display Adapters’ heading.
Finally, if none of the above methods are successful, you can try visiting the website of the manufacturer of your video card. Most companies have drivers and product support sections that list all their products and specifications. Search for the name of the manufacturer and then look for the model of your card. This should give you the type and model of the video card.
In summary, there are several ways to determine the type and model of a video card. You can open up the computer case and physically identify the card, use software tools like System Information or the device manager, or visit the manufacturer’s website for product support.
