Hello, can anyone tell me how I can find out what the specifications of my
graphics card are? Specifications like how many MB it has, or whether it has
vertex shader, and such? When I look for the graphics card in the device
manager, I can't see anything about a graphics card anywhere. I have some
sort of video something or other called a NIVIDIA Geforce 7300 LE, and I
thought that might be the graphics card, but it won't tell me anywhere how
many MB it has or anything. If I look for details it just shows me a bunch of
gobbledy-gook.

Hi,

It should be 128MB for your card.
Go to nvidia.com to see the spec of your card and download the latest WHQL
drivers to improve the card's performance.

Try using the facility within Windows;

Go to Start- Run-type dxdiag-OK-let it run-click on Display-it will tell you who the manufacturer of the card is, what the model number is, plus what it's approx total memory is.
