Does anyone here have an AMD or ATI Graphics card?

[Stennersaurus]

Hi, I just need a quick hand with something.

Can anyone reading this with an AMD or ATI card do me a quick favour. Go into the device manager, and tell me what your computer is calling your graphics card (under display adapters). For example, AMD Radeon R9 200 series, etc.

Also, let me know if you're using a reference design or a rebranded version such as Asus.

I need as many different answers as possible, thanks

It should list the model of your graphics card and driver.

Yeah I know, but I have an Nvidia card and I need to know what it says for AMD people.

Thank you! Really appreciate it!

no problem

It lists the same information for either brand of GPU (different model).

I heard that for reference cards, it reports the exact name, not the series, so a reference 270X would be called an AMD Radeon R9 270X whereas an Asus 270X would just be called AMD Radeon R9 200 series. I'm not saying that's true, but that's what I've heard.

But that's beside the point, I need to know what a large range of AMD cards are known as in the device manager, so would you mind letting me know? Thanks

For the record, mine is an HIS Radeon HD4670. In Display Manager, it lists as an "ATI Radeon HD4600 Series". My question is what does it matter?

Asus 6970 (EAH6970 DCII/2DI4S/2GD5): http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/EAH6970_DCII2DI4S2GD5/overview/

It is reported as a "AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series" in Device Manager. Hope your research works out.

The reference cards are reported the same way as non-reference in the device manager.

Thank you very much!
To answer your question, I have a strange response.

Basiclly, I'm writing a program in VB.NET that intelligently calculates whether the user's computer meets the 'soon-to-be-released' minimum and recommended requirements for GTA V. Unfortunately, the only way to get the name of a GPU is thought the device manager, in VB.NET. It's easier in C++ apparently, but I'm not familiar with that. Anyway, the concern I have is that even using device manager, the true name of an AMD card is not being properly reported, meaning that determining whether it meets minimum or recommended requirements is tricky. Instead of just getting R9 280 for example, it's getting R9 200 series. I need multiple replies because I want to see if this applies to all AMD cards (Nvidia seems to work fine). Anyway, thanks again!

Ok, that's more likely actually. Would you mind postsing your results please?

I have an Asus Strix GTX 970 currently. It lists "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970".

 

[Wolfshadw]

I see. Unfortunately, the most likely response you're going to see is whatever the AMD drivers are written for. Since the majority of AMD drivers are written for a set series of cards (HD4xxx, HD6xxx, R9 Series, etc...), you're not likely to see much more detail than that.

Ah ok cool, same as me then

Ah yeah, that makes sense now actually.

I had an idea that might help. If you are looking for the exact text to parse, look at the graphics card description for the driver website. The graphics card driver descriptions are likely the same information that you are looking for.

Yeah that's what I thought, I entered in the syntax, and it worked for an idea, but I got my mate to test it on AMD and I don't think it worked. I'll try again though, thanks.

I have an MSI r9 280X gaming 3GB. It shows as an AMD Radeon r9 200 series in the device manager
