From the Start menu, choose "Run".
Type in "dxdiag" and press "OK"
The "Direct X Diagnostic tool" will pop up.
Give it a few seconds to load all the stuff it loads, then click on the "Display" tab.

There you will find buttons and such with which to test your video card.

The "Diagnostic tool" has a Help file associated with it that you access via the "Help" button. That will explain more about what you can do with this thing.
