wine users - Oct 2011 - Wine recognizes GeForce GTX 560 as GeForce 8300GS

Pretty much all  games and steam recognize my graphics card as GeForce 83000GS. 
I think this causes games to run slowly and even freeze/crash when i try to set
graphic details to high. Setting VideoMemorySize from registry to the correct
amount doesn't help at all. Also setting VideoPciDeviceID and
VideoPciVendorID makes things even worse because then it's detected as
Direct3D HAL.

Is there any way to get wine to detect my video card properly or is this a bug
in wine?

What Wine version? Current Wine should detect "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560
Ti". Unless yours is not Ti.

to vitamin I suggest this patch:

wined3d: rename nVidia GTX560 to GTX560TI, add GTX560 with correct deviceid

to Lauri: the easiest thing you can do while this gets integrated is to provide
manual overrides for your vendorid/deviceid/memory using the link vitamin cited
before (useful registry keys).
Open the registry with the "regedit" command.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine
Create the Direct3D key if not present.
Create the VideoMemorySize string value, set it to "1024".
Create the VideoPciDeviceID DWORD value, set it to hex 1201.
Create the VideoPciVendorID DWORD value, set it to hex 10de.

OK, well that piece of info, along with everything else we've done in this
thread, has been very worthwhile. I hope MS hasn't made DX 10/11 to hard to
"catch up to". Hope for the best, I guess.

Thank you all for all the help and info.
