How do I see what type of video card I have?

I have a Compaq with Windows Vista. Even though its less than a year old, my Sims 3 is having a lot of graphic issues. I'm guessing its because of my video card, so how can I figure out what video card I have so I can compare it with the game's system requirements? Also, if I have to get a new one, about how much do 128 MB video cards cost?|||Either in device manager or you can use this free utility: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/|||Is this a desktop? Because if it's a laptop, you cannot change the video card at all.



Anyway, since it's Vista just go start and type in "DXDIAG" and then hit enter. The window that pops up should give you all the information on your video card.
