Re: WineD3D: gpu detection

[Roderick Colenbrander]

All capability detection should be based on opengl extensions. In most cases when there's no opengl extension which can provide the functionality we can't support it. Recently I have improved our capability reporting quite a bit. Some of the caps from the page you pointed to are now reported but also a big number of them isn't reported because wined3d doesn't support those yet. Reporting caps which we don't handle is very bad, it would break games.
