You should be able to find it in the device manager. Either that or right click on the desktop and go to Properties>Settings. You can see it listed there also.
Okay, I didn't notice the model at first. The 510m has an integrated graphics card on the motherboard. Here are the maximum specs, according to your owner's manual:
The Minimmum Requirements for what I'd be running say a DirectX compatible 64mb graphics card whilst the recommended requirements are DirectX9 compatible 3D card with 128 MB of memory (GeForce FX or equivalent).
Do you think my card will be OK or am I going to struggle? I have 256mb of RAM so have the 64mb card. I easily surpass the other requirements needed.
So where it says Maximum Graphics Memory 64mb, does that mean I have a 64mb graphics card?
How do I tell if it is a 3d card?
This is what I found:
