how to figure out if my pc has an PCI-E or AGP graphics card?

<< < (2/2)

syph007:
If you're just trying to figure out what graphics card you have, Device Manager should list something under Display Adapters.  Example: Mine says Radeon x850.

I ask because when downloading the drivers for my graphics card it gives me the option of choosing one for a PCI-E or AGP card for the same driver... not sure if it makes a difference but I tried the PCI-E one and it worked fine.

I know which graphics card I have, its a ati radeon hd 4850

beastathon:
ATI has released both a PCI-E and an AGP version of the HD4850. The easiest way to know is to take out the graphics card from your computer and look at the images Franco B posted, but it's most likely that you have a PCI-E card because AGP cards really aren't in demand anymore because it's old technology.

It seems like you've already downloaded the PCI-E drivers and it's working fine, so I would assume that's the type of card that you have.
