lspci didn't work, maybe because I don't have root access.

lspci
bash: lspci: command not found

What I need is simply to "know" what graphic card is installed, I don't want
to change anything or configure the machine? I need the exact version of the
graphic card, e.g., NVidia G6800. or even if there is one installed or not.

As Dylan has already mentioned, lspci will show you your installed
PCI devices, generally including your video card.

Also your X-server log should tell you what card you are using. Of
course this will not help much if you are trying to find the identity of
your card because your X is misconfigured. (You didn't say the
circumstances of your curiosity.)

You can also try running

   X -configure

which attempts to autodetect the video card; it works on most PCI and
AGP cards.

If it is Debian or Ubuntu:

   dpkg -l | grep gl

If it is an rpm-based distribution, such as Fedora:

   rpm --query -a | grep gl
