If the box or the packaging has been lost or depleted due eaten cat, you can see the information available on the graphics card, with a look at the code and the series of VGA card, you just try to unplug and notice the details.
using Software
This way one can only be done if the device you are using the VGA hardware is already installed in the system (drivers already installed). Software used is the GPU Z.
GPU Z is a mini tool from Techpowerup which is a software to provide complete information about the Video Card (graphics) and Procecsor APU on a computer or laptop.
GPU Z suport for all types of flat form either VGA AMD, Nvidia, and Intel, including the latest Intel Haswell Processor Graphics fed Code Name Iris.

Then if the GPU Z can only be used after the driver is installed, what if after buying VGA Card Used and we want to get a driver for the VGA card that I use but do not know for sure what the full specification of the VGA card Such?

Second way, users of AMD graphics cards can easily downloading drivers for all AMD products, with the help of tools designed specifically to detect, locate the driver that corresponds to the hardware, and download it directly to you.
Third way, for AMD and nVidia users who are not working anymore with the two options I mentioned earlier, please use the software detect the driver will install the drivers for all kinds of hardware very well.
