If you’re using a Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 computer, your graphics card is probably integrated into the motherboard. If you’re using a Windows 11 computer, your graphics card is probably installed in a separate card slot. To identify your graphics card in Windows 11, follow these steps:
- Open the Start menu and click on “Settings.”
- Click on “System.”
- Under “System and Security,” click on “Graphics.”
- On the Graphics page, you’ll see a list of all the graphics cards that are installed in your computer. If you have more than one graphics card, they will be listed separately under “Other devices.”
- To find out which graphics card is currently active, click on its name in the list and then click on the “Properties” button that appears next to it. The Properties window will show you all of the information about that particular graphics card, including its model number and manufacturer. ..
The quickest way to see which graphics card your PC uses is by using the built-in Task Manager utility. To launch Task Manager, right click the Start button and select “Task Manager” in the list.
When Task Manager opens, click the “Performance” tab. If you have more than one GPU in the machine, each one will be listed under names like “GPU 0” or “GPU 1” in the sidebar. Click the one you’d like to find information on.
On the information panel for the GPU you selected, you can find the name of the GPU or graphics card in the upper-right corner just above the charts. In this example, the GPU is “Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620,” but it will likely be different in your case.
On the same GPU task manager panel, you can also find information about how much memory your GPU has. You’ll find it in the lower-left corner under “GPU Memory.”
When you’re done, close Task Manager. Any time you need to check again, just re-launch Task Manager and check the Performance > GPU tabs. Happy computing!
