I am trying to play a Doom 3 game and wanted to be sure my computer meets all the requirements, because the game keeps shutting down. I am sure of all of them except a hardware accelerator card and the video card type.
Also; I am running Windows XP on a fairly new Dell desktop. THX

Click Start, rightclick My Computer, Properties, Hardware, click Device manager, then Display adapters, and your video card will show there...then double click that for details...
Then look up the specifications of your videocard on the Internet to see what shader it supports or whatever info more you need...

if your laptop is older than 8 years like mine is it in all threat has an AGP port. All video enjoying cards in recent times use the PCI exhibit 2.0 or 3.0 slot and the latest photos card you would be waiting to purchase is one in all the NVIDIA Geforce 7000 series. you would be waiting to run maximum present day video games on very low settings yet video games popping out like ac3 and dishonored you will no longer be waiting to play as a results of fact the Geforce 7000 series enjoying cards won't help directx 10. no you won't be able to enhance your video slot yet you may improve your motherboard. of course, upgrading your motherboard to a well-known you may require you to swap very almost each and everything interior your laptop, for you to as nicely purchase a sparkling laptop.

go to pcpitstop.com run a quick test, it will give all the results about your computer in colored flags, click on the video flag, it will tell you everything you need to know. The test takes 1-5 minutes.

open up the computer and remove the video card, it should have the name and model of the card on it, then put it back together and look it up on the internet if need be.
the easy way is press the window key and the pause/break key, and in system properties under device manager find your video card and check the properties of it.

there cuold be a sticker on the front of PC that would give you this information, i think pcpitstop.com can run a test on your PC that would also include this information.
you could alsotake the side panel off and just look, alot of them say what they are on it
