wine users - Aug 2011 - [wined3d]Support for a Nvidia card

Hi,

In the differents bugs which were resolved by the release of wine 1.3.27 i saw
that there was a patch to detect a video card =>
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27924 and
http://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/commit/0e043819f45f1d70ba34a026200c60908ef17d97

Like i'm a noob (I am not ashamed), i would like to know why these
differents cards are listed (ATI/Nvidia/Intel) in directx.c and
wined3d_private.h ?

This support in wined3d dll allows to improve the performances contrary to a not
listed card?

Because I search my card in this list and she's not present, it's
important to add a support for a video card ?

Thanks

Because they have different enough characteristics for games to select different
optimizations. Wine doesn't use this data.

Wine doesn't really care what card you have. All Wine needs is a list of
available OpenGL extensions. And supported surface formats.
