The first part of your screenshot:
Indicates you have a PCI Device identified as 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation and its details. Which mostly means you have a GPU or Video Card (You Lucky Guy!)
The second part of your screenshot shows the results of nvidia-smi, from the developer's manpage:
nvidia-smi (also NVSMI) provides monitoring and management capabilities for each of NVIDIA's Tesla, Quadro, GRID and GeForce devices from Fermi and higher architecture families. GeForce Titan series devices are sup- ported for most functions with very limited information provided for the remainder of the Geforce brand. NVSMI is a cross platform tool that supports all standard NVIDIA driver-supported Linux distros, as
well as 64bit versions of Windows starting with Windows Server 2008 R2. Metrics can be consumed directly by users via stdout, or provided by file via CSV and XML formats for scripting purposes.
From the developer:
If you need information for a specific part of this data, you may wish to edit your question and add the specific information for what you wish an answer.
BTW: Reading the manual may provide a lot of useful help.
