detect multiple video cards

[Vegan Fanatic]

been expanding the capability again, but the video card ID now

so now to figure out how many of them



not so sure what is wrong with my call to get that information

std::string getGPUstring(void) { // DirectX 9c, XP SP3 or better
DWORD vendorID = 0;
DWORD deviceID = 0;
std::string temp;
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;
deviceID = adapterIdentifier.DeviceId;
temp = adapterIdentifier.Description;
}
//direct3D9->Release();
}
UINT icnt = direct3D9->GetAdapterCount();
if (icnt > 1) { // SLI or CFX
if (vendorID == 0x10DE)
temp += " SLI";
else
temp += " CFX";
}
direct3D9->Release();
return temp;
}
