How to find out which NVIDIA GPU I have
If you have it installed, you can also use nvidia-smi
which provides even more information for NVIDIA GPUs (this is, after all, what they use in the page you linked):
$ nvidia-smi

If you just want the GPU name:
$ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=name --format=csv,noheader
GeForce GT 650M
please update your PCI ID database with:
sudo update-pciids
And use the following command in your terminal:
lspci -nn | grep '\[03'
You will see the model name of your graphic card. If it's ambiguous, you could search the PCI ID (something like [10de:11bc]) on the Internet for the corrent model name.
