Then I tried

amruth@HP-Ci5:~$ lspci | grep VGA

which returns

Then I tried

amruth@HP-Ci5:~$ lspci -v -s 00:02.0

which returns

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 2337
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 64
    Memory at c3000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
    Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
    I/O ports at 7000 [size=64]
    Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: i915

From this can I conclude that my graphics card is just 256Mb. This is my new HP laptop[HP 15-r240TX Notebook (5th Gen Ci5/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Free DOS/ 2GB Graph) (L8P42PA)] from Flipcart. So I plan to request replacement. Thanks for the reply.

  • Is there any chance that my Graphics card is not detected? I used 'hardinfo' and 'sysinfo' tools. Both did not show the presence of Graphics card – user3798498 May 03 '15 at 09:04

lspci | grep VGA

mark the digits in front of it. Then do...

lspci -v -s {digits}

Example from my machine:

~$ lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. 
[AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M]

and

$ lspci -vm -s 01:00.0
Device: 01:00.0
Class:  VGA compatible controller
Vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]
Device: Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M]
SVendor:    Acer Incorporated [ALI]
SDevice:    Radeon HD 6650M

will show all the details of the videocard. edit: seems not all show the memory of the card. This methods works for more than just your videocard: details on network card both wired and wireless, USB controller are also shown (just change the command to 02:00.0, 03:00.0. My audio is on 01:00.1; just check the 1st command for the digits).

So another method:

lspci -v | grep VGA -A12
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Whistler [Radeon HD 6630M/6650M/6750M/7670M/7690M] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

    Memory at c0300000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
    I/O ports at 3000 [size=256]

I stumbled across this post with a similar question, about how much shared memory is actually in use, and how much is claimable, by the integrated graphics in my laptop. I found all three of these commands helpful, although the amount of memory returned differed among them (could be measuring min vs. current vs. max allocated shared RAM -- not sure). The commands are:

  • sudo lshw -c display
  • lspci | grep VGA --> --> lspci -v -s <PCI_ID>
  • glxinfo -B

LSHW

In my case, sudo lshw -c display returns:

*-display                 
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake)

LSPCI

The lspci tool gives me memory addresses, which presumably could be translated into size, but that's beyond my capability. The output from lspci | grep VGA is:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake)

Plugging the PCI ID at the front of the string back into lspci and asking for more detail, we have lspci -v -s 00:02.0 which returns:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    Subsystem: CLEVO/KAPOK Computer UHD Graphics 620 (Whiskey Lake)
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 150

    [virtual] Memory at 4000000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
    I/O ports at 4000 [size=64]

    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    Kernel modules: i915

OpenGL / GLXInfo

Finally, glxinfo -B returns 3072MB. I'm guessing that's the maximum amount the integrated graphics is allowed to claim from the shared (system) RAM. Here's the full output:

name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0

OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)

OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.2 Mesa 19.2.8

So, depending on what you're looking for, any or all of these commands may be useful.

Download SystemInfo from the official repos, or via terminal:

sudo apt-get install sysinfo

Then, open straight from terminal:

sysinfo

Now you can see all you need to know :)

Try with the following command:

lspci -vvnn  | grep -Pzo "(?s)\[03.*?\sprefetchable\) \K\[size=(\d+)M\]"

Prefer to grep for \[03 as video cards are not always listed with [0300] VGA compatible controller. They could be a [0380] Display controller, or a [0302] 3D controller.

The result for my system:
