Video Card Not Working Properly?

English Applications
#1

Hello, I have a number of questions regarding my video card.

How can I see what make and model my video card is? I had this PC custom built…and I remember when I was installing openSUSE it said that I had a nVidia GeForce 9800GTX. I really am supposed to have a 9800GTX+, so how can I see that to make sure I got the right one?

Secondly, I don’t think my video card is working properly…I’m using Gnome, but the fonts and texts and graphics seem to be “weak” in relavence to my video card. For one, all text is not crisp…

Please help.

there are many ways to see your hardware information, the easy one is
using yast, through “YaST >> Hardware >> Hardware Information”.
