|

Is it possible to find gpu drivers for a laptop, with no idea what graphics card it is? I googled the laptop model, but I'm pretty sure I can only find the graphics card for higher end models of this one, so is there any way at all to find out it's graphics card? It's not really important, I just want to use it to play Minecraft multiplayer 
Oh, and it's a Toshiba Satellite A100

Go into run and type in dxdiag. The model of the graphics card is listed in the display tab.

That is really weird. Not sure where else it you can get the information, other than the windows system information icon in control panel, but i assume you have already tried that.

A100 is pretty broad, what model is it?
A100 is a series, from what I've seen it'd either be onboard intel graphics, nvidia go7300, or ati x1600.
Laptop drivers are not really designed to be updated, to get a hold of one suitable you'll need to go to Toshiba's Support site and find your model in the list of satellites. Click the download tab and go through the pages until you find the display driver.

As far as I can tell, it's a "PSAA2A-02C01N", which isn't on that site. Though a google search of it finds one result which lists "Intel GMA", so do you know how I'd go about finding those drivers?

I just vaguely remember since I haven't used my Toshiba laptop in a while but does your laptop have drivers at C:/DRIVERS?

Not a bad card for a laptop, I must say. My laptop only has an integrated Intel GPU and it can't play anything decent.
