Graphics Card
I ordered an Alienware Aurora R4 and it was supposed to come with AMD Radeon 6870 graphics card but it came with 7800 series. How can I find out exactly what card I have? I tried my computer, properties, catalyst control center, etc. but it only tells me 7800 series. I want to buy a new graphics card for a crossfire setup but I don't know if I should buy a 7850 or 7870. Can anyone help me out?

I tried dxdiag already. It just said, "amd radeon hd 7800 series" I've done everything I know how including opening the PC to look at it and nothing has been able to tell me if it's the 7850 or 7870. It says my card has approx. 1075MB memory and CCC (catalyst control center) said 2048MB.

Hi randall421,
If the GPU-Z did not help you to determine the video card present in your system. I‘d require the service tag of your computer.
I have added you as a friend. Please accept my friend request by clicking on my name ‘DELL-Ravi Ch ’highlighted in blue and then click on “Friends” tab at the top and then click on “Request to Review” and finally click on “Accept” button.
I am sending you a private message as well. Click on “Inbox” to respond to the message and provide the system’s Service Tag and contact details so I may access your system records and check for further course of action. You could also click on Start Conversation to send a private message. Please let me know if this helps.
