how to find out which graphics card i have

On Windows, the fastest way to find out which graphics card you have is to check it in Device Manager or the built‑in DirectX tool, and you can also use third‑party utilities if you need extra detail.

Quick Scoop

Here’s the short version of how to find out which graphics card you have, especially on Windows 10/11.

• Open Device Manager → expand Display adapters → read the GPU name (for example “NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060” or “AMD Radeon RX 6600”).

• Or press Windows + R , type dxdiag, press Enter → go to the Display tab to see your graphics card details.

• If you want deeper specs (VRAM, clocks, vendor), apps like GPU‑Z or Speccy can show advanced information about your card.

Extra notes

• Laptops and some desktops can show two entries under Display adapters (integrated + dedicated GPU), which is normal.

• If the name looks wrong or generic (like “Microsoft Basic Display Adapter”), you may need to install or update the correct graphics driver from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel’s website.
