How do i know the model of my video card without opening my pc? is it possible?

i wasn't able to ask for the installer for the video card of my pc...|||open your device manager using the directions below or typing 'devmgmt.msc' in your run box, then right click on video card & click on properties for more information on your video card.



Windows 95/98/Me



* You can open Device Manager by double-clicking on the System icon in Control Panel, and choosing the Device Manager tab. It is also accessible by right-clicking on My Computer, selecting Properties, and selecting the Device Manager tab. Getting to the Device Manager this can require up to six mouse clicks, but there is an easier way.



* Open an Explorer window, and select your Start Menu folder (under your Windows directory). It doesn't have to go here, but it's as good a place as any.

* Select New and then Shortcut from the File Menu.

* In the field labelled Command Line, type C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL.EXE Sysdm.cpl, System,1 (replace C:\WINDOWS\ with your Windows directory, if different).

* Click Next, type Device Manager for the name of this shortcut, and press Finish when you're done.

* There will now be a shortcut directly to Device Manager in your Start Menu.



Windows 2000/2003/XP/Vista



* You can open Device Manager by double-clicking on the System icon in Control Panel, choosing the Hardware tab, and clicking Device Manager.



* Fortunately, Device Manager can be more easily run by launching devmgmt.msc - just create a shortcut to the file (as described above), and launch it at any time.|||This can be possible if you are using windows and have the most recent driver installed then you can use the windows system information console. It is commonly found under Accessories. This should be able to give you almost anything you want to know about your PC. Also you can go to display settings under "Settings" advanced settings and adapter this should show you the name and model of your card. Again this all depends on having the most recent drivers other than this a software scanner that costs money or simply open the case and find the model on the card. Goodluck|||Another simple way



go to Start>Run type "dxdiag" and hit enter. (The windows key + R if your on vista)



The Direct X Diagnostic tool will display things like current operating system, your processor type and speed, and your memory. Click the display tab and your video card brand will be displayed.|||Use the free utility SIW (System Information for Windows):
