[Bug 33597] New: Enhancing memory video detection

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33597

Bug #: 33597
           Summary: Enhancing memory video detection
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.29
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: opengl
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

I'm using a GeForce 8600 GT with the following attributes:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ nvidia-settings -q all | grep -E "Attribute
'(TotalDedicatedGPUMemory|VideoRam)'"
  Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0.0): 524288.
  Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 524288.
  Attribute 'TotalDedicatedGPUMemory' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 512.

The PCI device ID is 0x0402 and the PCI vendor ID is 0x10de. On starting a game
Wine is telling me that it is only emulating 256 MiB of memory for my graphics
card:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ WINEDEBUG=+d3d '/wine/drive_c/Program Files
(x86)/Warcraft III/Frozen Throne.exe' -opengl 2>&1 | grep Emulating
trace:d3d:wined3d_adapter_init Emulating 256 MB of texture ram.

I can confirm your issue by looking source code

http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/blob/b01fc1aa6e12b426b3f539c44196c9233...

They should somehow improve this thing...

but there is a workaaround for you

http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys

|  +->VideoMemorySize
      |  |   [Sets the amount of reported video memory (in megabytes). The
default is a simple
      |  |    auto-detection based on the card type guessed from OpenGL
capabilities.]

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for over a
year. Is this still an issue in current (1.7.51 or newer) wine?

With Wine 1.8 I'm getting this on a GeForce GTX 650:

sworddragon@ubuntu:/wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Warcraft III$
nvidia-settings -q all | grep -E "Attribute
'(TotalDedicatedGPUMemory|VideoRam)'"
  Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0.0): 2097152.
  Attribute 'VideoRam' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 2097152.
  Attribute 'TotalDedicatedGPUMemory' (ubuntu:0[gpu:0]): 2040.
sworddragon@ubuntu:/wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Warcraft III$
WINEDEBUG=+d3d './Frozen Throne.exe' -opengl 2>&1 | grep Emulating
trace:d3d:wined3d_adapter_init Emulating 0x40000000 bytes of video ram.

Using OpenGL capabilities is an enhancement but still a problem if
vendor-specific graphic cards have a different amount of RAM then the reference
graphic cards.

This is still a problem in 2022 in games that use Vulkan, not just OpenGL. In
Red Dead Redemption 2, if there is not enough video memory, the game will not
let you put high graphics settings and even screen resolution. In other games,
for example, it may work fine, but constantly popup that there is not enough
VRAM.

wine --version
wine-7.14 (Staging)

The GPU table lacks NVidia 30 series GPUs like "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti".

GPU tables suck because your GPU, like my RTX 3060 Ti, may not be listed and
you have to set the VRAM manually via VideoMemorySize in regedit.
