Win 7 How to see whats installed??

[dc9mm3]

Iam trying to figure out which EXACT video card I have installed with out opening up the case and pulling the video card out and looking for some kind of sticker or print on the actual card. I already tried Device Manager but all it says is what SERIES of card it is NOT the EXACT model it is just the series. I need to now the exact model it is. Can I do this in Win 7 64 bit home premium or iam I stuck with opening up the case and pulling the card to see. I cant remember what I put in there and have no box as I bought an OEM vid card about 2 years ago. Its a ATI Radeon 4800 series but which one there are like 8 different models.

Yes I googled it and read a bunch of condescending responses to there person that asked the question and they were all WRONG answers as they didn't give exact model the OP asked for. What a bunch of jerks out there.

So do I have to pull the card? I cant see it good enough without removing it. I tried looking at it but I need to pull it if I want to read anything on it. If I need to pull it there is a bunch of crap I need to move out of the way so I prefer an easy way to do this.

Maybe trying downloading GPU-Z and have it identify your GPU for you?

Well I downloaded it and ran it still says ATI HD 4800 series but not the actual one. Thanks any way. I guess I will just pull the card and find out.

Download Speccy (made by same makers of Cleaner) or Belarc Advisor.

go into device manger (its in control panel or jsut search it) and click on display adapters

That's a great Idea!
Its a shame the OP didn't think of that b4 posting.

Doesn't anyone actually read what they're replying to any more?

Show the GPU-Z screenshot. We can figure it out by looking at the amount of shaders and memory type and size.

Now that actually is a good idea. :thumbsup:
Also, you could check the bios version in GPUZ and maybe you'd get lucky doing a google search of the Bios Version number...you never know.

I have a HD 4850 512MB (I know this for sure).

GPU-Z displays "ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series", but CPU-Z gives the exact model (the correct one in my case): Radeon HD 4850.

Catalyst Control Center also only identifies my card as "ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series".

I said in my original post that device manger DOES NOT give me the display model Jeeze.

Looks like Its a 4850 comparing it to the GPUZ pic HERE.

And your GPUZ pic here.

And HERE looks like a bios version match also that confirms its a 4850.

 

[techtechie]

your card is the radeon 4850 (not the x2 version) use this link to double check my comparision scroll way to the bottom you can see the specs of the card the 4850 512mb version matched it almost perfectly

Did you try CPU-Z?

Here is a CPU-Z screenshot for my card (it correctly identifies my HD 4850):

And here is the GPU-Z screenshot for my HD 4850 512MB:
