Sure we need cards in the database but this comment was regarding
having dozens of similar models. Right now we detect a generic Geforce
8800 but if you are exact then you'll find a 8800 GT, a 8800 GTS, a
8800 GTS; I would prefer if we would keep that called 8800. For some
models there are perhaps upto 10 submodels.
