If you have your video card changed will your computer recognize the change in it's list?

The one where all items are listed that came with the unit when purchased. I had upgraded my video card but it does not show up as upgraded, it shows the video card that came with the computer. They took that out and it is operating using the new video card but it does not show that change.|||you first have to install the driver that came with your graphics card after installing driver reboot your system and enjoy the graphics|||It is likely that the "old card" was not a card at all, but a chip built into the system board. While you can add a video card and have Windows use it, the old card/chip can not be removed and so it is still in the PC and will show up under the Device Manager as still being there. If they physically removed the old card from the PC, it would no longer show up in Device Manager. It does look for each device each time the Manager is started and would drop the old card if it is gone.



The real question should be is the NEW card showing up under the Device Manager? If it is, then everything is fine and the card is working. If it is not, then the new cards is not properly installed. It is most likely missing the driver that Windows needs to see the card.



If you are looking at this listing in something besides Device Manager, then I have no clue what it should show. If it is actual a list of "original devices" then it may not be designed to change if the hardware is upgraded. If you are not using Device Manager, how are you generating this list?|||You need to install the manufacturer prescribed hardware driver and the graphics card for the new computer.|||You need to install the driver for the new card.
