Let’s discuss how to use Intune Inventory to View Graphics Model Video RAM and Display Settings on Windows Devices. Video Controller in Microsoft Intune is a hardware property that Intune can collect as part of its Device Inventory feature on Windows devices.
The Video Controller feature helps you understand the graphics setup on a Windows device by collecting key information about the graphics card. It provides details such as the Identifier, Adapter Dac Type, Current scan mode etc.
It helps organisations by providing a centralised way to collect and view graphics hardware details across all Windows devices in the environment. IT teams can use this data to check if devices meet software requirements, find old or weak graphics cards, and plan upgrades more easily.
It also simplifies troubleshooting by allowing support staff to remotely check video configuration settings without needing physical access to each device. This saves time, reduces manual effort, and improves overall device management across the organization.

Properties Picker
From the Properties picker, select Video Controller to include it in your device inventory profile. Once selected, Intune automatically enables several related sub-settings that provide detailed graphics information. These include properties like Adapter DAC Type, Adapter RAM (Bytes), Current Scan Mode, Graphics Card Model, and Video Mode Description.
- Enabling these settings ensures that your inventory captures comprehensive data about the video hardware on each Windows device.
Video Controller Configuration Properties in Intune
Under Configuration properties, selecting Video Controller enables several detailed settings related to the device’s graphics hardware. These include Adapter DAC Type, Adapter RAM (Bytes), Current Scan Mode, Graphics Card Model, and Identifier.
Each of these properties is configured to refresh every 24 hours, ensuring that the inventory data remains up to date with any hardware changes or driver updates on the device. This regular refresh helps maintain accurate and reliable graphics information across all managed Windows devices.
Scope Tag is Automatically Assigned
