Graphics card question

Hello,

Baz has a new "shoot 'em up" game for Christmas, but it runs rather sluggishly.

Downloading the latest drivers appears to be the answer, but I don't know where to find out what graphics card is on this PC.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

A nifty tool I've used in the past is CPU-Z. It gives you some really detailed info!

The annoying thing is, the game I bought Baz for Christmas will not run on the current card, so it'll be going back to the shop for a refund.....
