I just go to A website that shows you if you can run a game and it tells me what kind of card it is.

:SIDE QUESTION: how do you work the freecam? once I get on it I click it and I can only move it around in circles, I thought you could move it around. I know I shouldent be using it but I was only using it because I was being Depth Charged.
Honestly I don't know where you can look in Windows to find the specs for the video card, I don't think it displays anything but the name in Device Manager. Is there any kind of nVidia software installed for tweaking the card's settings and performance? I have an ATI card so don't know the first thing about what comes with an nVidia one. I did a quick search and it looks like it may be an onboard graphics controller (came with the motherboard) rather than a separate card, but again I don't know jack about nVidia these days. Somebody here will, though.

Regarding the freecam in the game, I think what you want is what you get by pressing Shift+F2 on the keyboard, this will let you move around the interior like you're walking around by using the arrow keys, instead of just turning the cam in a big circle around wherever you're standing.
