How To Evaluate Graphic Cards On Windows?

To evaluate a GPU on Windows, you can use several built-in tools and methods:

• Task Manager:

  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc or right-click the taskbar and select "Task Manager."
  • Switch to the "Performance" tab. If the tabs are not visible, click "More Details."
  • Select "GPU 0" from the left pane. The GPU's manufacturer and model name are displayed in the top-right corner.

• System Information (msinfo32):

  • Press Win + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter.
  • Under "System Summary," click "Components," then "Display" to see your GPU's name.

• Device Manager:

  • Press Win + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager.
  • Expand "Display adapters" and look for your GPU under "Display adapters."

• DxDiag:

  • Press Win + R, type dxdiag, and press Enter to open DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
  • Look for the GPU's name under the "Display" tab in the "Device" section ("Name" field).

• Command Prompt (cmd):

  • Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter to open Command Prompt.
  • Run the command wmic path win32_VideoController get name and press Enter to see the GPU name in the output.

• PowerShell:

  • Open PowerShell and run either command Get-WmiObject win32_VideoController | Format-List Name or Get-CimInstance win32_VideoController. You will see the GPU's name in the output.

Remember that these methods work on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
