What graphics card do I have?

Post by Vendetta »

I go into run, type dxdiag, go into display, and on name, I have 3 different cards. It says:

"Radeon X300/X550/X1050 Series"

Soo.. which one do I have? X300, X550, or X1050?

Try going into device manager in the Control Panel and look under Display Adapters. I get my graphics card there: an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570.

Not sure about this, but there may be a "series issue" --- for some reason Windows gives a series of Video Cards in a bunch. Spiney's advice is good, another is to use a separate software, like HWiNFO32 I use.

I know thread is ancient, but may serve others not knowing what their CPU/board/graphics card is...

Try CPU-z (from CPUID) and GPU-z (from TechPowerUp)... just google them and you'll find 'em real quick, besides they are both freeware so you're ok...

Everest and HWiNFO32 are also OK, but do not show not nearly as much detail
