    Hi, You need to go to the device manager (Right click my computer, click properties, and then find device manager)
    Under display devices, it should have the model number of your card.
    Hope this helps, if you need any further help, please say what operating system you are using :)

    Sorry, my bad, Display Adaptors.
    The device listed under here should be your graphics card.

    k, thnx. the reason i asked this question is because i play this game called fifa online 2. once i sent my com for repair. but aft the repair, i am not able to play the game. they say virtual memry too low. but my com dont have much stuff. so maybe it is because of graphics card, but it isnt possible for the person who replair my com to take out the graphics card, why would he want to do that. so i think the problem is my RAM. do u tink RAM affects the virtual memory?

    This link explains what Virtual Memory is.

    What is Virtual Memory

    If the game ran before and doesn't now then it's unlikely to be a memory (real or virtual) problem unless the person you took your computer to removed some.

    You still haven't answered the question about your Video card, which is more likely to be the cause of the problem.

    Do you know what had to be repaired in your computer?
    Perhaps the part that needed replacing was replaced with something of lower spec...

    The one about what Device Manager says your Video card/component is in Device Manager, and for which I posted a screen shot to show you what mine looked like.

    I don't know how to make it any clearer. I even included a screen shot of what Device Manager looks like with Display Adapter expanded.

    What you were asked for was the the information under Display Adapter, which for mine is:

    Nvidia Quadro FX 3400/4400

    Hi,
    I think Rich's question was now that you know how to find it, what does it say on your machine under your Display Adaptors section.
