I'm setting up a lot of my old PC's for a LAN and the one I am on right now needs to update it's graphics driver. However when I run DirectX Diagnostic the video card type is "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" which is what the computer uses when it doesn't know the real name for the graphics card. All I know about it is that it is NVIDIA.
So where can I go to find the correct name so that I can update the driver.
And here is what DirectX Diagnostic told me:

It does, but that's not what it is.
It should say what card you have under the tab if you got the drivers for it installed

Yeah, I'm just about to do that because my computer doesn't recognize what's inside of it at all, everything is pointing to the default "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter".
