Slave info videocard selection

Hello,

When the Slave info updates, what is it running to determine what to put in the video card column in the monitor?
We have a few windows machines that show up an odd graphics card, and would like to know where this is gathered so we can either reinstall drivers in a better order or fake what deadline is quering :wink:

Cheers

I’m pretty certain we’re returning the first video card we find (:frowning:) , which on Windows is using the WMI class win32_VideoController. On my workstation, that ends up being an iGPU instead of my discrete GPU, which obviously isn’t ideal. Not certain if you can rejigger that on your end.

There’s probably a way we can better can query the one gpu we show. Ideally, I believe we’d want to show the full list of graphics cards, considering it’s very common to run multiple in one machine. But a better initial selection would probably be a decent stop gap.

Cheers

Thanks Morgan,

Its a start, for us to explore.
Do you know if this is still a case for the latest version of deadline?

Yea, this is still accurate as of the latest Deadline 10. This hasn’t changed in a while since its only functionality is to be used for Slave info display purposes.

Cheers
