A graphics card, also known as a video card or display adapter, is an essential component of a computer system responsible for rendering images, videos, and other visual content. It plays a crucial role in determining the overall graphics performance of a computer, particularly for gaming, video editing, and other graphics-intensive applications. Keeping your graphics card updated with the latest drivers and software is essential for optimal performance and compatibility with the latest games and applications.
There are several ways to check the version of your graphics card. One common method is through the Device Manager in Windows. You can access the Device Manager by searching for it in the Windows search bar or by pressing the Windows key + X and selecting “Device Manager” from the menu. Once in the Device Manager, expand the “Display adapters” category, and you should see your graphics card listed. Right-click on your graphics card and select “Properties” from the menu. In the “Properties” window, you can find the graphics card version under the “Driver” tab.
