The two major video card manufacturers are AMD and NVIDIA. They both have their own model schemes that you can use to help determine what video card to purchase. I have neglected to include laptop specific models as recommended laptop video cards will follow the same conventions below (more or less).
Near the bottom of this window, right above your serial number, it will list what the computer uses for graphics. In my case, my work laptop utilizes Intel’s Iris Plus Graphics 645. The model you can get from device manager but the serial number should be on a sticker somewhere on the video card itself. As far as removing the card, its pretty easy. There is a latch at the end of the slot that you have to release before the card will come out. Open the computer Unplug everything from the back of the computer, open the case, and look for any visual identification printed on the video card or motherboard. Many times you can find the manufacturer's name, model number, serial number, or other unique information that identifies the video card or video chipset you have. VGA How to locate serial number for graphic card. The serial number is listed after the word “Serial No,” “SSN,” “S/N,” or “SN” and can be located with the methods shown below: Sticker label on the back of the graphic card. Sticker label on the side of the package box. Field explanations. The fields in the table listed below describe the following: Model – The marketing name for the processor, assigned by Nvidia.; Launch – Date of release for the processor.; Code name – The internal engineering codename for the processor (typically designated by an NVXY name and later GXY where X is the series number and Y is the.

Identify Nvidia Graphics Card By Serial Number Lookup
AMD has recently switched from a 3-digit system to a 4-digit system; however, it also has some video card models that don't follow normal conventions like the Vega line of graphics. Their products range from the 500 series to the Vega series, the 5000 series and most recently the 6000 series. After you've determined which series the card is, you can then figure out the performance value. Typically, you will find that a higher number corresponds to a more powerful video card. The RX 540 is the is the lowest performing graphics card in the 500 series and the RX 590 is the most powerful. The Vega 56 is the entry-level card in the Vega series and the RX 6900 XT is the most powerful card available from AMD currently and is a part of the 6000 series. The XT models indicate a slightly faster variant of the non-XT models. You can find a list of AMD graphics cards on their website.
Performance Examples:
Low Performance: RX 540, 550, 560, 570
Mid Performance: RX 580, 590, Vega 56, Vega 64, RX 5500, 5500 XT, 5600 XT
High Performance: RX 5700, 5700 XT
Ultra Performance: RX 6800, 6800 XT, 6900 XT
Nvidia Graphics Card Serial Number
NVIDIA GEFORCE:
NVIDIA, thankfully, has been much more consistent in their numbering conventions over the last few years. The current generations from oldest to newest are the 10th, 16th, 20th, and 30th generation NVidia cards. The final two numbers for each model will indicate the performance level with 10 being the lowest performance value and 90 being the highest performance value. The GT 1030 is the lowest performance model that NVidia currently makes while RTX 3090 is the most powerful model that they currently make. You can find a list of NVIDIA graphics cards on their website.
Performance Examples:
Low Performance: GT 1030, GTX 1050, 1050 Ti, 1060, 1650
Mid Performance: GTX 1650 Super, 1660, 1660 Ti, 1660 Super, 1070, RTX 2060
High Performance: GTX 1070 Ti, 1080, RTX 2060 Super, 2070, 2070 Super, 3060
Ultra Performance: GTX 1080 Ti, RTX 2080, 2080 Super, 3070, 3080, 3090
