The best way to find out the components of your graphic card.
If we take into account the amount of graphic cards that have been launched over the years, it seems almost incredible that the vast majority of companies that designed graphic processors have disappeared, with now only
ATI and
NVIDIA as the two main companies, and with other companies like
Intel that only produce graphic processors that are integrated into the motherboard.
Despite the fact that all graphic cards use a
GPU (
Graphic Processing Unit) produced by ATI or NVIDIA, the graphic card manufacturer doesn't necessarily have to be one company or the other, because there are many more like
PowerColor,
GIGABYTE or
ZOTAC that use the GPUs produced by the two big companies to make their own cards.
Due to this, it is always advisable to have an application like
GPU-Z to
know exactly all the components of our graphic card, and the performance that we can expect from it. We will only have to launch the application and it will show us a
detailed report with the name of the card, the processor type and manufacturer, the BIOS version, the card manufacturer, the BUS interface, etc.
Therefore, if you want to
know every last detail about your graphic card,
download and install
GPU-Z.
