Video card help standard VGA ghrapics adapter?

I want to play a game on my Pc and I need to know what video card I have got to update drivers it says it is a standard VGA ghrapics adapter and I don't know how to update the drivers note: chip type is nvida - thought that may be it but I want to know card name and I'm runnin windows 7|||Go to Nvida's website and they probably have software that detects your current graphics card.



Or go into device manager (right click computer and hit manage, then find device manager) and look for display adapters. Right click the device listed there, click properties, and go to the driver tab. Then click update driver.



Usually doesn't work, but this also tells you the type of card you have.|||always set a restore point BEFORE updating drivers.





from the command prompt [or "Run" command line in Win XP] type "DxDiag" and then hit enter.



the resulting screen has a Video or Graphics tab which has all the info you need and probably has an "Update Driver" button as well [might be hidden under "advanced" button.] Will work only if you're connected to the Internet.|||Type your model on the support page of the manufacturer's website to see what video card you have.Then you know what to do.Also look at the windows updates website,its very likely to find the driver there|||If the video is part of the mother board then direct your browser to the manufacturer of the MB and download the appropriate driver from there. That is the safest and easiest method.|||Use Windows update to check if you have optional drivers to update.Or u can use programs like Drivermax to identify your drivers.
