]I forgot what GPU i was using so i naturally ran cpu-z, however it showed me ''AMD Radeon r7 200 series'' which doesn't mean much since i need exact model (like R7 250 for example), is there any way i can get exact model info? I also ran AMD Control Center and it did the same thing as cpu-z did. 

I attached a file for you to get better understanding.

Perhaps DXdiag will help? Run it, try looking at display tab. Literally, Run -> Dxdiag -> enter -> display tab.

-snip-

Control Panel > Hardware and Sounds > Under devices and printers there should be 1 administrator option, press that one.. You get a list and you open up display adapter and it should say it there.

you are using CPU-Z ID

 

there is another program called GPU-Z ID
