right now I have this much code

std::string getGPUvendor(void) {
DWORD vendorID = 0;
IDirect3D9* direct3D9 = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION);
if (0 != direct3D9) {
D3DADAPTER_IDENTIFIER9 adapterIdentifier;
HRESULT hr = direct3D9->GetAdapterIdentifier(0, 0, &adapterIdentifier);
if (S_OK == hr) {
vendorID = adapterIdentifier.VendorId;
}
direct3D9->Release();
}
}


So lets see, AMD, Intel and NVIDIA are almost all that remain in the GPU sector

Then the fun, how about the actual model of card
