Detecting Capacity Of VRAM Installed
Hi all,
I want to detect the capacity of the video ram installed into the system. is there any win32 api which detects the system resources such as Video RAM, Processor, RAM, capacity of hard drive and so on.
Thanks and Regards,
Bidesh

Directx should have a query for this -- I know it allowed me to query the joystick model number and capabilities. But that is for the video card ram, for the system ram used as video ram on cheap cards, I do not know if it would work.

I found this on the web I'm not sure if it works.
IDirectDraw* dd = 0;
HRESULT hr = DirectDrawCreate(0, &dd, 0);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr) && dd != 0)
{
DDCAPS caps;
memset(&caps, 0, sizeof(caps));
caps.dwSize = sizeof(caps);
hr = dd->GetCaps(&caps, 0);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
video_info.video_mem = caps.dwVidMemTotal;
dd->Release();
}
So this method requires directdraw be started
