Finding out what graphics card my work pc has in it.

Hi guys,

I need to find out what make 1 of the graphics cards is that is plugged into my new work pc's mobo.

I know one of them is an Nvidia 9600GT, this is running two of my monitors fine.

However to get my 3rd monitor to work I plugged in an unknown card from my old work pc, I know it was some sort of ATI, but I have no idea which model and I tried some base ATI drivers with no luck.

Is there some piece of software out there that can help me find out what it is? I tried Belarc Advisor but that just told me ( Standard VGA Graphics Adapter [Display adapter] )

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your help, it's an ATI Radeon. Sadly it didn't give me a model number, but hopefully I can work out roughly which one it is from the other info it's given me

Surely you could just go to device manager? It will say in there under display adapters if I'm not mistaken

SiSoft Sandra maybe (I don't know if it's still around or not)
