Whether you're setting up new computers for your office or creating an inventory of the hardware you already have, you may need to locate the serial number for a video card in order to add that info to your system data. If you purchase an Apple Macintosh computer, you only need one serial number to refer to the entire system, including its graphics adapter. Under Microsoft Windows, you may need to look in several places to find your video card's information.

1.

Power down your Windows PC and open the computer case to check its graphics adapter closely. Look for a sticker that contains the serial number. If you're not sure which card you're looking for, check for the port which your monitor cable plugs into, and examine the card that uses that port.

Uncable and loosen the video card in the case so you can unplug it from the motherboard and remove it for closer inspection. If you don't find a serial-number sticker, look for a combination of numbers etched into and written on the card.

3.

Check the packaging in which you purchased the card, if you bought it separately from the computer. Look for a sticker on the warranty card or the flaps of the box. If you sent in the warranty card, check your files for a photocopy of it.

4.

Locate the invoice for your video-card purchase. Some technology vendors list the serial numbers of the items you purchase on the paperwork that documents what you bought.

Tips

• Use a GPU test utility (see Resources) to find out more information about your graphics card's hardware and performance capabilities.
• If you purchased the video card as part of a PC system, contact the company that manufactured your computer and provide information about your purchase, including other serial or invoice numbers, to obtain further details about your graphics adapter.
• Checking video card information through a Properties dialog box in Windows or other system-based means of displaying the card's name may provide inaccurate or incomplete information because it draws the details it reports from the driver software that powers the adapter, not from the card itself.

Warning

• If you remove your video card to look for a serial number, verify that you've reinstalled it correctly before you start your system backup.

I purchased my machine from hp.com about 2 years ago. It is out of warranty now; however, the GPU should still have another year of coverage through the manufacturer. I took the GPU (nvidia gtx 970) out of the case to look for the sticker that would have the part and serial numbers on it, but there was no sticker on the card. There were a couple of random numbers but none that match the pattern that nvidia uses for serial numbers.

My question is this, is it possible for HP to provide me with the serial number and part number of the GPU that was installed on my machine?

It's a fairly expensive card and I'd rather not have to buy a new one.

Thanks!

Hi,

Please post the HP product number for your PC. How to Find the HP Model Number and the HP Product Number or let HP automatically find your PC model number and HP network attached printers. This will allow others to review your issue, make suggestions and review your responses. This is usually the best way to get assistance.

The warranty on HP PCs is typically one year, Why do you say that the graphics card has another year?

The below information is for 750-xxx models with the NVIDIA GTX 970.

part number 803185-001, NVIDIA GTX960 Aries-P3 FH2GBGDDR5PCIex16
