How can i see what kind of graphics card my computer has?

Answer 1

Nick, download a free program called EVEREST 2.0 It tells you everything you ever wanted to know about your PC. It tells you all your hardwares specs, temps, voltage, what if anythings overclocked & how much & again everthing about your Pc at the click of the mouse. Its free & free of spam, ads & all the crap that you sometimes get when downloading programs online. Go check it out. I just turned it on to a guy here in YAHOO ANSWERS who wanted to know how he could check out the specs on his PC & he voted it as "BEST ANSWER" I install it on every PC I build & sell so the buyers can see what it is there getting.

Answer 2
