how can i find out what my video and graphics cards are?

Answer 1

All those answers are of value, but they are limited to a keyvoard search.

You have 2 more chances...

1/ Open the computer and check the card. If you only find the motherboard, check the reference to a VIDEO, od GEFORCE or ATI , etc written on top of an integrated circuit


2/ When your computer is just starting you will see an alphanumeric line of text,and maybe some logos, it gives you the name of the card producer or the motherboard reference, so you just check in the web.

Answer 2

Press "Win key + Pause Break"
Select Hardware Tab
Click on Device Manager
Expand Display Adapters

Should display your graphic card there.
