All computers have graphics hardware that is made to handle everything from displaying your desktop as well as decoding videos to rendering demanding PC games. The majority of modern PCs have graphics processing units (GPUs) made by either Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD. However, remembering what Graphic Card you have installed can prove to be difficult.

While your computer’s CPU and RAM are also important, the GPU is the most critical component when playing PC games is concerned. If you don’t have a powerful enough GPU, you cannot play newer PC games. Or, you have to play them with lowered graphical settings.

Some computers have low-power “onboard” or “integrated” graphics. While others have powerful “dedicated” or “discrete” graphics cards (these are sometimes also called video cards.) This article will show you how to see what graphics hardware is in your Windows PC.

What Graphics Card (GPU) Is on my PC? For different window versions.

For Windows 10, you can check your GPU information as well as usage details right from the Task Manager. Right-click the taskbar, then click on “Task Manager.” Or, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the task manager.

For Windows 11, you can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Esc. Or, you can right-click the Start button, then choose “Task Manager.”

From there, click on the “Performance” tab at the top of the window. If you don’t see the tabs, click on “More Details.” Click on “GPU 0” in the sidebar. The GPU’s manufacturer along with the model’s name will be displayed in the top-right corner of the window.

You will also see other information, for example, the amount of dedicated memory on your GPU, in the window. Windows 10’s Task Manager displays your GPU usage here; you also have the ability to view GPU usage by application.

If your system has multiple GPUs, you will also be able to see “GPU 1” and so on. Each represents a different physical GPU.

For older versions of Windows, for example, Windows 7, you can find this information in the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. To open the tool, press Windows + R, enter “dxdiag” into the Run dialog that appears, then tap the Enter key.

Click on the “Display” tab, then look at the “Name” field in the “Device” section. Other statistics, like the amount of video memory (VRAM) built into your GPU, can also be seen here.

If you happen to have multiple GPUs in your system. For example, you have a laptop with a low-power Intel GPU for use on battery power along with a high-power NVIDIA GPU for use while plugged in and gaming, you have the ability to control which GPU a game uses from Windows 10’s Settings app. These controls are built into the NVIDIA Control Panel as well.

This is how you can change your Spotify username using the different methods that are given in the article. If you liked this article (or if it helped at all), leave a comment below or share it with friends, so they can also know How to Check What Graphics Card (GPU) Is on Your PC?
