How to Check Your Graphics Card (GPU)

Knowing your GPU model is useful when installing games, updating drivers, troubleshooting display issues, or comparing hardware. This page detects it instantly via WebGL β€” but if you want to verify using your OS, here are the methods:

Windows 11 / 10
Press Win + R, type dxdiag, press Enter β†’ click the Display tab.

Or: right-click Desktop β†’ Display Settings β†’ Advanced Display.
Windows (Task Manager)
Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc β†’ click Performance tab β†’ select GPU from the left panel to see model and VRAM.
macOS
Click Apple menu () β†’ About This Mac β†’ More Info β†’ scroll to Graphics section.
Linux
Open terminal and run:
lspci | grep VGA
or for NVIDIA:
nvidia-smi

What Is a GPU and Why Does It Matter?

A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is the chip responsible for rendering visuals on your screen β€” from everyday desktop windows to high-resolution gaming and 3D graphics. Modern GPUs also accelerate AI workloads, video encoding, and scientific computing.

The main GPU manufacturers are NVIDIA (GeForce series), AMD (Radeon series), and Intel (Arc and integrated UHD Graphics). Apple Silicon Macs use their own integrated GPU cores built into the M-series chips.

Integrated vs. Dedicated GPU

Most computers have two types of GPU: an integrated GPU built into the CPU (like Intel UHD or AMD Radeon Graphics) and a dedicated GPU (like an NVIDIA RTX card) with its own VRAM. For gaming and creative work, the dedicated GPU is what matters. For everyday tasks, the integrated GPU handles everything fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check what GPU I have on Windows?
+
The fastest way: press Win+R, type dxdiag, press Enter, and click the Display tab. You can also use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) β†’ Performance β†’ GPU. This page also detects your GPU automatically using WebGL β€” no software needed.

Why is my GPU showing as "Google Inc." or "ANGLE"?
+
Some browsers (especially Chrome) use a translation layer called ANGLE that can prefix the GPU name. This is normal. Your actual GPU name should still appear after the prefix (e.g. "Google Inc. (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080)"). If you see only a generic name, try checking via dxdiag for the exact model.
What does CPU logical cores mean?
+
Logical cores are the total number of processing threads your CPU can handle simultaneously, including hyper-threading. For example, a 6-core CPU with hyper-threading shows as 12 logical cores. More cores generally means better multitasking and performance in multi-threaded applications.
Why does RAM show as 4GB or 8GB even if I have more?
+
For privacy reasons, browsers only report RAM in rounded buckets (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 GB). A device with 16GB or 32GB will report as "8 GB" β€” this is a browser limitation, not a real reading. Use Task Manager or System Info on Windows for the exact amount.
How do I update my GPU drivers?
+
For NVIDIA: download GeForce Experience or visit nvidia.com/drivers. For AMD: use AMD Software (Adrenalin Edition) or amd.com/support. For Intel Arc: use Intel Arc Control or intel.com/download-center. Always use the official manufacturer tool for the safest update.

ABOUT THIS TOOL

What GPU Do I Have? β€” Everything You Need to Know

Your GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is the chip responsible for rendering everything you see on screen β€” from desktop icons to 3D games and video playback. Unlike your CPU which handles general computing tasks, the GPU is specifically optimized for parallel processing of visual data.

This tool reads your GPU information directly from your browser using the WebGL API β€” no installation required. It shows your graphics card model, estimated VRAM, display resolution, refresh rate, CPU core count, and total system RAM.

Why Does My GPU Name Look Different?

Browsers report GPU names through a rendering layer (ANGLE on Windows, Metal on Mac). You may see a prefix like "ANGLE (NVIDIA, ...)" β€” the actual GPU name follows in parentheses. This is normal and shows your real graphics card.

Why Is My VRAM Shown as Estimated?

Web browsers cannot directly read hardware VRAM specifications for security reasons. The displayed value is estimated from WebGL capabilities and may differ from your actual VRAM. Use Task Manager (Windows) or GPU-Z for exact values.

Integrated vs Dedicated GPU

Integrated GPUs (Intel UHD, AMD Radeon Graphics, Apple M-series) share system RAM and are built into the CPU. Dedicated GPUs (NVIDIA GeForce, AMD Radeon RX) have their own VRAM and deliver significantly higher performance for gaming and creative work.

What GPU Do I Need for Gaming?

1080p gaming: RTX 4060 or RX 7600 (8 GB VRAM). 1440p gaming: RTX 4070 or RX 7800 XT (12 GB VRAM). 4K gaming: RTX 4080/5080 or RX 7900 XTX (16–24 GB VRAM).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check my GPU on Windows without this tool?

Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc β†’ Performance tab β†’ click GPU 0. Or run dxdiag from the Run dialog (Win+R) and check the Display tab for full GPU details including VRAM and driver version.

My GPU says "SwiftShader" β€” what does that mean?

SwiftShader is a software-based GPU renderer used when no hardware GPU is available (e.g., virtual machines, headless servers). It is extremely slow and not suitable for gaming or graphical work.

Can I upgrade my laptop GPU?

In most laptops, the GPU is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded. External GPU enclosures (eGPU) via Thunderbolt 3/4 are an option for some laptops, though performance is limited by the interface bandwidth.
