I disagree.

Some cards are sold with "enabled special feature X in game Y". The game then looks at the card ID to allow additional configuration options. An example for this is Age of Empires 3 which allows the highest graphics options only for some Geforce 7 models(and a few ATI radeon models).

Our current detection system is fine-grained enough for AoE3, but there may be other games. I think the current setup(especially with the recent improvements) scales well enough that we can make the detection more fine-grained.
