Do you know where i can find out what graphics card i have on my computer? and where to download updates 4 it?

Answer 1

The packaging is the fastest and easiest place to identify your graphics card assuming that you bought it new from the store. Otherwise it may be an integrated chip. Try Device Manager accessible either from right clicking the My Computer icon, selecting the Devices tab, and clicking the Device Manager button, or by entering System Settings from the Windows button on the lower left of the Windows screen. From Device Manager, scan the list of device types for graphics cards, select the device listed under it and choose properties.

System properties is a good way to access it too. It is accessed from system folder in the accessories folder in the programs option of the windows button. From the run button at the Windows button, typing 'dxdiag' will produce a similar tool.

I'm going from memory here, because I'm currently at a Linux workstation, but the Windows help documentation will effectively verify the mechanisms for accessing these tools and will probably give you direct links to them as well.

If the manufacturer is a reputable brand, then they will have a website with a download drivers section. If not, the Windows drivers at the Windows update page will probably be the best for your computer. Usually a drivers CD is included in the packaging, but you can expect those drivers to be old and need updating.

Assuming you don't know anything about it, it's probably a retail computer, which means (If you didn't customize it) it came with an integrated graphics chip. An easy way to figure out what you have is clicking start and then run in the bottom right area. when you get there type in dxdiag and say that you don't want it checking digital signatures. Once there at the top there is a Tab called "Display" click it and once it is loaded, the Name should be right there. Usually the manufacturer of the chip has updates on its site, but you rarely need any firmware updates for integrated graphics chips.

Answer 4

it's right behind the printer! ... just kidding.
Depends on operating system, RIGHT click on my computer icon, select properties, then go to device manager which might be in hardware section. In device manager you will see a list of all components, select the graphic card, if any. right click and select properties. you can directly try to update driver or search manually.
You can also look computer manufacturer's website, find updates of your computer under download/support section.

Answer 5

Right click on "My Computer", and click "Properties". Search around for the "Hardware Manager" or "device manager" button. (It could be in different places dependind on which version of Windows you have).

Scroll around the list until you find your graphics card. Click it, and somewhere within its window will be a button you can press to automatically search for driver updates.
