Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted August 22, 2007 right click on my computer > then properties > then click on device manager > then select display adapter and it will list your graphics card. However, depending how how your computer is built the graphics card could be built in and in that case you can pick up a compatible graphics card and then turn off the onboard card through the BIOS.

Grafitti 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2007 First of all see if your graphics card port is up on the side of the back of the computer case (if you've got a computer shaped like 95% of us). If it's up there, it's built in. If it's down by the pci slots, then you have a standalone card. Whether it's PCI --god forbid--, AGP, or PCI-E is something that you have to find from the system properties. You can also get details about the graphics card by right-clicking on the desktop >display properties >settings >advanced >adapter and it'll give you all the info you need.
