How do I find my GPU..whatever that is
I'm very new to these forms and I'm not exactly sure if this topic has been brought up before but i'm a avid gammer and I bought a new computer game for my laptop. It seems I thought it was compatiable with the hardware I have but it turns out sadly that I was wrong. I've been told to look at my GPU but I don't have a clue as to where to look. My "graphics card" is hardwired in my motherboard. I can't upgrade to a different motherboard because the laptop belongs to my college til I graduate, so I can't make any hardware modifcations. Any help with this would be apreciated so I can look for alternitive systems, or alternitve software that will be compatiable with my laptop.

on laptop, its on the board. its not like desktop system that you can remove. on most laptop graphic card is not upgradable
you mean that you cant see what is your GPU under device manager? control panel > system> device manager > display adapters

Hi
GPU = Graphics Processing Unit or VPU = Visual Processing Unit Hover mouse curser on windows desktop; press right mouse button; select: screen resolution / advanced settings / Adapter Type atb (all the best) Law-II |
