How do I check which graphic card do i have ?

[deepakiitk]

I recently baught
ASUS A8N-E mobo along with XFX PCI-E card PV-T44P-RAH6 ..

I just want to check and configure my graphics card as per my use ..

How can i do that ?

The reason why i want to check is earlier i was using a mobo MSI with on board 32MB graphic card .. but now since i have got a better mobo and a GPU as well .. the performance of games shud have improved .. instead it has decreased ..

Earlier when i used to play CS i used to easily get 100 fps on 1200*1000 at 32 bit colour ..
now even at 800*600 and 16 bit colours i dont manage a 60+ fps .. it is somehow bounded to 60 fps .. no matter how much i decrease or increase the resolution ( specific to game ..) .. the fps remains constant at close to 60 .. ( The max fps in game is set to 100) ..

Please help me asap ..

right click my computer, properties, hardware tab, device manager, expand display adapters

Start>Run>dxdiag>display tab, as an alternative.

hey guys u got me wrong , i know that much .. both the alternatives that u suggested ..
Actually i got a XFX GEforce 6200 and i wanted to check if the dealers has played pranks on me or not ..
I wanted to check how much is the dedicated AGP memory on my PCI-E card ... as in 6200 models .. come in the range of 16MB dedicated ram to 128 MB dedicated ram.
I wanted to buy to 128MB dedicated RAM but seems i have been fooled and given 64MB module which can be TC to 256 MB .
Is there any other tool by which i can check the amount of dedicated ram.
I used 3DMark '05 to test my new configuration and found that I was indeed fooled and been given 64MB module. Is there any other way to check how much is the dedicated Ram in my case.

Thanks a lot guys and hoping for more...

It sounds like you have your Vsync enabled.

In your advanced video settings uncheck Vsync, or raise your monitor refresh rate above 60Hz

For nvidia, i believe that would be under the performance and quality settings, uncheck application-controllled and move the slider to off.
