Sorry for the newb question, but anyone know? Graphics card as well. Bought a new computer awhile back and forgot what came in it!

Many thanks in advance.

I have never ran Win 8, but assuming it's the same as windows 7...

The easiest way is to simply run dirext x diagnostics.

Find a search bar on, in near windows icons, type "dxdiag", hit enter.

Right click the start menu in 8 or 10 click system and some info is there, then go into the device manager and look at display adapter to see what gpu you have, would be another way
