    Hi, i would like to know how to check my graphic card specs or model via cmd. Anybody knows which command should I use? I tried some commands but all of them says that I have a 6700m Ati series graphic card and I need to know if the model is 6770 or 6750...

    Thanks.

    It just the string name AMD driver gave to it.. if u really skeptical and paranoid about this kinda thing, reinstall HP driver since it will show u HD6770M.

    You might be able to try this, just go to Start -> Run then type in dxdiag.

    Click on display tab and it should tell you. But make sure you have manually switched to the AMD gpu or it will tell you your built in integrated GPU.

    ^ it will still show "AMD Radeon HD6700M Series" if you're using AMD/DNA driver. Only HP driver will show HD6770M.

    Easy way to determine whether it is HD6770M or HD6750M, just fire up MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z or CCC and check the clocks. I presume you didn't overclock your gpu... 725/800 = HD6770M & 600/900 = HD6750M.

    I've overclocked it. I dont remember seeing it anywhere (except the day I bought the HP, seller showed me the videocard via CMD command, not directx command), that's the reason why i'm asking this.

    I am using DNA drivers though, and Radeon 6770m is what shows up on mine...

    I'm not sure of any specific command to use in CMD to see. You could prowl google for that. Are you sure the guy at the store showed you with a command in CMD?

    But yeah, just upgrade the driver if you can. Might as well!

    Or you could also do what Acid suggested. I'm not exactly sure how to do this, but if you can get hardware information on the GPU you can just cross-reference it to whatever it is. Might be able to look in BIOS and see!

    ^ that's weird.. what is your current driver version in CCC or GPU-Z? Doest it show "Catalyst DNA-AMD GFX: xxxxxxx"?
    this?
    Code: 
    winsat disk -v
    If you already on AMD driver it will still show HD6700M Series imo.

    No matter if the core stock clock is 725 mhz... It must be a 6770m.

    But I'm sure that there is a simple cmd command which ONLY shows the graphic card model.

    Yeah all that info matches up with the 6770. I'm fairly sure you have that GPU!
