The best thing would be to get it from the same place as Windows is doing but as mentioned that might not be good right now. Direct3D has info on the card we are emulating (it has emulated pci ids) but right now we only report a generic renderer string. At the moment the best way is to get this info from opengl. (glGetString(GL_RENDERER)
