Where at in my computer can i find out what video card im using?
What operating system do you run? if you have windows all you have to do is right click on a blank area of the desktop and choose properties, then you can go to the settings tab, and in the area under where there is a picture of your current background, there is some text, and that is the name of your video card as the software knows of it, if you want to find out what to install drivers for, it should be somewhere on the actual board, and that is probably on the back of the board in relation to the chips. or it can even be on the front if the manufacturer was inclined to do so.

If you have a version of DirectX installed you can type ''dxdiag'' into the command prompt in your start menu. This runs the diagnostic tool that tells you everything you want to know about your system.
yes, "dxdiag" is the best part of DirectX.
