Summary: Wine shows wrong graphics card name Product: Wine Version: 1.1.20 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: directx-d3d AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: diafero@arcor.de
Since version 1.1.20, applications run with wine show a proper name for the graphics card instead of the default "Direct 3D [HAL]" which was used so far. However, that name is not correct for my card: I have a GeForce 8500 GT, but the application (Uru - Complete Chronicles) says "GeForce 8300 GS" instead.

--- Comment #5 from Roderick Colenbrander thunderbird2k@gmail.com 2009-10-30 03:37:14 --- OpenGL doesn't provide a mechanism for retrieving the PCI id of cards (which is what some game use for default settings). Instead we have some basic detection mechanism and store a small amount of cards in a list (we really can't store hundreds of dozens of different combinations of a single vendor). The real name of the card isn't that important.

--- Comment #7 from diafero@arcor.de 2009-10-30 08:40:26 --- The behaviour is slightly different than on Windows, which is why I reported it. If however the displayed name is the only difference (and no applications rely on it being correct), then I agree it's not worth the effort.

--- Comment #8 from Roderick Colenbrander thunderbird2k@gmail.com 2009-10-30 09:19:19 --- The problem is we can't detect the exact. For instance OpenGL may advertise '8500GT' but there are various 8500GT models with different clocks, pci id and a different amount of video memory but all use the same name. At some point we advertise a more correct name but in general the exact name isn't that important.
