DGIndexNV: Please report your nVidia card name

[Guest]

As nVidia does not support programmatically querying the VP engine version and I want to display it in the List GPU Devices dialog, I'd like to use a table of device names to determine it. Therefore we need to collect the names people encounter in the Options/List GPU Devices dialog. I'll start the list and keep it updated in this post:

"GeForce GTX 460"
"GeForce GT 520"

Please report your device names, but only if they haven't already been posted, and please be careful to be accurate.

I will determine the VP engine version from this table:

Thank you!

Can you not just enumerate this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
and pull the value of "DriverDesc" which in my case is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000]
"DriverDesc"="NVIDIA GeForce GT 240"

Sure, I'll just enumerate everybody's registries from own machine. :)

Think about what I am trying to do. I don't own all possible cards so cannot determine all the names used in the wild.

As you can see from the existing dialog box, I know how to enumerate the installed devices and their names.

I know what you're trying to do. What you need is the display names from all possible cards, right? They are all in "nv4_disp.inf". From the list in that file, you could create a lookup table that covers every card supported by the driver.

That's an interesting find, and thanks for pointing it out (but not what you said in your post to which I responded). It may be useful for my purposes, but the strings in that file are not exact matches. For example, there is "NVIDIA " present at the start and a variable number of spaces at the end. Could I guess that I can strip the "NVIDIA " and the ending spaces and get the strings that the runtime call returns? Maybe, perhaps probably, but I don't *know* that for sure. I'd like to gather some data on the real strings returned by the runtime call.

I'm already creating a lookup table as it is the obvious thing to do.

That's a good one, thanks.

My father have a GeForce GTX 560 without Ti, and he using DGIndexNV too.

0: "GeForce GTX 285M", Compute 1.1, 997MB, 16SMs
1: "GeForce GTX 285M", Compute 1.1, 997MB, 16SMs

This was with an older nvidia driver (296 ?) and DGIndexNV 2039

DGIndexNV 2042 refused to work with this older driver.


After update with the recent nvidia driver (301.42)
and DGIndexNV 2042 the same set of graphic cards read:

>0: "GeForce GTX 285M", Compute 1.1 (using sm_10), 1024MB, 16SMs
1: "GeForce GTX 285M", Compute 1.1, 1024MB, 16SMs

MPG: cuda

Thank you.

Guys, I have everything I need now, so I'll close this thread.
