How to find out which graphics card is used by your computer

The Visualize mode of OpenRoads ConceptStation uses LumenRT which is a graphics-heavy program. Knowing which graphic card is being used can help to troubleshoot visual issues or to validate if the minimum requirements are met. The best way to retrieve information about your graphic card is to run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool.

Open DirectX Diagnostic Tool by clicking the Start button, typing dxdiag in the Search box, and then press Enter.
