Our computer has a graphics card, this is something we already know. Although it is usual that most users do not know which one is on their computer, unless they are a gamer who has bought a special graphics to install on their computer. But if you don't know, you have to find a way to obtain this data.
Fortunately, there are many ways to know what is the graphics card that we find on our computer installed. So if at a certain moment you are curious to know this information, you will be able to resort to one of these methods on your Windows computer.
Task Manager
A very simple trick in this case is to use the computer's task manager. It allows us to access said information at all times, since we have a section where you can see graphics card performance of the computer, also showing the name of the specific model that we are installed on our computer. It is therefore a simple method, but it works very well in this case.
We therefore open the task manager on our computer, using Ctrl + Alt + Del and then we go to the performance tab at the top. Then we will be shown the performance of the computer depending on the component. One of the options is the GPU, where when pressing we will see the performance of the graphics card, in addition to the specific name of the model we use.
System information
Another option that we can resort to in these cases is to use the section called System Information. As we can deduce from its name, in it we find all kinds of data about the computer, including the specific model of the graphics card that we use in the computer. So it is another simple option that we can resort to in these cases.
In the start menu write msinfo32 and then an option will appear, which is System Information. We click on it and a new screen will then open, where we find all kinds of data about our computer. In the left column we look for the screen option and click on it. A list with computer components will then open, among which we can see the graphics card that we have installed in our computer.
Search online
You can always turn to search for information about your computer on the net. It is likely that there are users who know the model of laptop they have, in the order of their computer or on the box the name appears. So if you go to the manufacturer's website or any online store where they sell it, the data about it and its components are displayed. Therefore, we can access the specific name and model of the computer's graphics card without too much trouble.
This method is simple, although in many cases we do not know exactly what computer model we have. If we have bought it online, we may still find the product link, where your specs are normally displayedAmong them will be the information about the graphics card that is installed in it.
Third-party applications
There are also applications that we can use on our computer, to access information about the components. So we are given the specific name of each of them, therefore, also of the graphics card that we have in our computer in this case. A good option, which surely many already know in this regard, is CPU-Z.
It is an application that gives us information on the status and performance of components in the computer. It also gives us their names, so that we know what RAM we have or what graphics card we are using in our computer. That is why a good application to consider in this regard. It can be downloaded for free on Windows.
