Right-click My Computer and select Properties. Go to the Hardware tab, then
the device Device Manager button. You'll see a whole long list of various
items on your computer. Click the little + sign next to Display Adapters,
and it will reveal the name of your graphic card.

Hi hereitis,
Chris gave you some great advice!
Let me add a few tips of my own too ...
Here are a few ways to identify which video card you have
installed on your computer.
1. Click Start / Run / type: dxdiag
Click the Display Tab
Look under Device for the name and manufacturer
2. Click Start / (Settings) Control Panel
Click Display
Click the Settings Tab
Click the Advanced... button
Click the Adapter Tab
3. Click Start / Run / type: msinfo32
Click on the + Components
Click on Display to see the name on the right
4. Use Belarc to see indentify your Video, Chipset and Motherboard:

5. Get the information from the manufactures website (or store)
6. Look on the Video card itself if you plug into a card, or
7. Look in your Motherboard manual if you plug into the
on board video built into the motherboard of your computer.
Hope that helps you identify the make and model of your video card,
and afterwards, Try updating your Video drivers using these steps:
