This article introduces the knowledge of "how to check the details of the graphics card in the Linux command line". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

Check the video card details in the Linux command line

Use the lspci command to find the video card

The lspci command displays information about devices connected through the PCI (Peripheral component Interconnect Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus. Basically, this command provides detailed information about all peripherals of the system, from the keyboard and mouse to sound cards, network cards, and video cards.

By default, you will have a large list of such peripherals. This is why you need to filter out the video card with the grep command:

Lspci | grep VGA

This should display a line of information about your video card:

Abhishek@itsfoss:~$ lspci | grep VGA 00VGA compatible controller 02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02)

As you can see, I have an Intel HD 620graphics card in my system.

Use the lshw command in Linux to get the video card details

The lspci command is enough to view your graphics card, but it doesn't tell you much. You can use the lshw command to get more information about it.

This command requires you to have root privileges. You need to find video card (video card) information in this way:

Sudo lshw-C video

As you can see in the output below, this command provides more information about the graphics card, such as clock frequency, bit width, driver, and so on.

It is not necessary to use the command line to find video card details in Linux. Most Linux distributions (or rather desktop environments) provide the necessary details in the settings.

For example, if you are using a GNOME desktop environment, you can go to the about section of Settings to check the details. Ubuntu 20.04 looks like this:
