Hi Luke,
We don't want to have all possible GPU models in (there are so many different models). It only gives a hint to apps (yes the proper amount of video memory is more serious) but this should be fixed in a different way I think e.g. nv-control. I think I might look into that again soon.
I disagree.
Some cards are sold with "enabled special feature X in game Y". The game then looks at the card ID to allow additional configuration options. An example for this is Age of Empires 3 which allows the highest graphics options only for some Geforce 7 models(and a few ATI radeon models).
Wouldn't that completely break for later-model cards?
