Ubuntu Linux: Find Out What Kind Of Video Card Is Installed

To find out what kind of video card is installed on an Ubuntu Linux system, you can use the lspci command.

For example:

lspci | grep VGA

This will display the video card and related information, such as the manufacturer and model number.

Alternatively, you can use the lshw command to view information about the hardware components on the system, including the video card. For example:

sudo lshw -C display

This will display detailed information about the video card and its capabilities.

You can also use the glxinfo command to view information about the OpenGL graphics system on the system, including the video card and its capabilities. For example:

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL vendor string"

This will display the name and version of the OpenGL graphics system, as well as the name of the video card manufacturer.

For more information on the lspci, lshw, and glxinfo commands, you can refer to the Ubuntu documentation or the man pages for these utilities.
