Videocard Brand.. How can I find out

Hey Guys,

I bought my GF6600GT a while ago, and I cannot find the box for it, but I was wandering how I can find out what brand name it is so I can check for a BIOS for it, I don't really want to open the case up and check it out, is there a software tool that would be able to tell me?

I thought it may have been an XFX 6600GT, but I checked their site and they don't have a model in a RED PCB AGP like mine, my cards box had a women on the front, a green box with graphics, hmmmm why oh why did I throw the box out

 

Hi TimW,

Wont do it for me

 

MSI makes one with a red pcb:

Google ftw!

 

i think you're gonna have to dive into the depths of your computer to see who made it...

 

Was it a girl with a sword?

 

wrong, get nibtor and then tell it to load your current bios. then go over the the farthest tab and check manufacture.

 

to do that u first have to load the BIOS onto a floppy then open it with nibitor; as far as i know u cant access the VGA BIOS from within windows

 

yes you can, try it if you dont belive me. I make custom bios's and I use Nibitor to save the bios with out the hassle.

 

hmmm didnt know that. all the guides ive seen online tell me otherwise. nice to know but would have been more appreciated without the attitude

 

sorry, its been a really bad time for me latly, dont mind my attitude im just going through a rough spot right now. My fieancee left me a few days ago and im just a little upset over that so dont mind me.

 

ah crap, so sorry dude. no problem, no harm done. happy posting in the future, u seem to know ur stuff

 

thanks man, i dont claim to know alot, I know AMD/Nvidia, it's Intel/ATI i don't know a lot about.

 

Mine says the brand, maybe you got a no-brand card! :O

 

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all your help, I tryed nibtor, it detects everything bar the manufactuer, I think you're right, I will have to open up and delve inside, thanks anyway guys, appreciate all the help.

@Candle_86: Sorry to hear that mate, I hope you get something sorted out with your fiancee, or atleast start feeling better, somehow!
