Video Card Problems?

My hard drive got all of it's data deleted so i don't have all of my video drivers. I know my video card can support the games i was running because they worked before the data got deleted and the only thing of could think was the drivers. The biggest problem is that i don't know what my video card is. How can i check to find out what it is.|||Method 1

Right-click on desktop. Goto Settings tab. It should say 'xxx on default monitor' or some variation of that.



Method 2

Right click "My Computer" and choose "Properties", click on the "Hardware tab" then the "Device Manager" button. Click the + sign by "display adapter" and it should list your video card.|||Go to device manager and it should display the information about your video card. Most PC's will either use Nvidia or ATI.|||u could go to device manager but if the drivers got deleted it wont say much lol open ur pc up there should be a via or ati chip see what it says but if u go to device manager and it tells u copy it and go to driverguide.com and make a account its free and go from there and ull get ur drivers back i hope or go to start all programs and update and see if theres any driver updated for ur video card hope this helps u
