Default Driver for a graphics card

I have a computer with a graphics card which I can't identify and it doesn't
seem to have a driver

Can you please advise me how can I find the appropriated driver


Thank you,

I don't know what you've tried, so here is a general answer:

To find out what hardware is in your computer:

1. Read any documentation you got when you bought the computer.
2. If the computer is OEM, go to the OEM's website for your specific model
machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
3. Download, install and run a free system inventory program like Belarc
Advisor or System Information for Windows.

http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html - Belarc Advisor

You can also open the computer, take the card out, and examine it.

Right click on My Computer and select Properties. On the Hardware Tab click
on the Device Manager button.

In Device Manager, find the "Display Adapters" line and click on the "+".
That will display the name of your display adapter.
