Enter "sudo lshw" in a terminal. It will list all the hardware specs of your computer

Open Terminal, Applications > Accessories > Terminal
Then from terminal, type this command:
$ lspci -vv | grep Video

You will see your graphic cards.
For example:
$ lspci -vv | grep Video
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)

Can you help with this problem?
