[Closed] Get Graphics Card Name?

Anyone know how to get the manufacturer name of the graphics card in the machine via maxscript?

I want to figure out if it’s NVidia for Cuda or AMD for openCL…

doesfileexist @“C:\Program Files\AMD”
doesfileexist @“C:\Program Files\NVidia Corporation”

Doesn’t seem the safest way to do it!

the solution found here

fn ManagementObjectSearcherAssembly =
(
	source  = ""
	source += "using System;
"
	source += "using System.Management;
"
	source += "using System.Collections.Generic;
"
	source += "namespace ManagementObjectSearcherOps
"
	source += "{
"
	source += "    class Video
"
	source += "    {
"
	source += "        public Object[] GetVideoControllers()
"
	source += "        {
"
	source += "            List<Object> props = new List<Object>();
"
	source += "            ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(\"SELECT * FROM Win32_VideoController\");
"
	source += "            foreach (ManagementObject obj in searcher.Get())
"
	source += "            {
"
	source += "                PropertyData currentBitsPerPixel = obj.Properties[\"CurrentBitsPerPixel\"]; //check for valid Graph Card Controller
"
	source += "                PropertyData description = obj.Properties[\"Description\"];
"
	source += "                if (currentBitsPerPixel != null && description != null)
"
	source += "                {
"
	source += "                    if (currentBitsPerPixel.Value != null) props.Add(description.Value);
"
	source += "                }
"
	source += "            }
"
	source += "            return props.ToArray();
"
	source += "        }
"
	source += "    }
"
	source += "}
"

	csharpProvider = dotnetobject "Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider"
	compilerParams = dotnetobject "System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters"

	compilerParams.ReferencedAssemblies.AddRange #("System.dll", "System.Management.dll")

	compilerParams.GenerateInMemory = on
	compilerResults = csharpProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource compilerParams #(source)
	
	assembly = compilerResults.CompiledAssembly
	assembly.CreateInstance "ManagementObjectSearcherOps.Video"
)
global ManagementVideo = ManagementObjectSearcherAssembly()
vc = ManagementVideo.GetVideoControllers()

it can give you more info than just a Video Card name…
