all the hardware programs i can think of list only the amd/nvidia chip model not the brand of the board.
can't really think of a way to find out without opening the case. perhaps you can scan the programs installed and see if there is any brand specific programs installed. generally they come pre-installed so you may get lucky and see a handful of things from msi/asus/or other brand specific stuff.
edit: rechecked gpu-z and though it only lists the amd chip i have if i clicked the "look-up" button next to it, then it took me to a page with my actual card on it. specs and all included. so maybe, you can get that running on the pc and see if ti does the same for you

You might also be able to identify it (or other unknown hardware) using this method:
-Open Device Manager
-Find the device under Display Adapters
-Right click the device and select Properties
-Click the Details tab
-Select Hardware Ids in the chooser
-Google the info that you see there
