    Angry Amount of memory on a video card?

    Is there a way to get the amount of memory on a video card using some API call?

    I have been looking for a while but have not been able to find anything?

    If all else fails I am thinking about creating a DDraw device and checking it that way. But I would really like to find a better way of doing this.

    Please help.

    If you have WMI available (2000, XP) then try the Win32_VideoController class.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
