Wine recognizes GeForce GTX 560 as GeForce 8300GS

wined3d: rename nVidia GTX560 to GTX560TI, add GTX560 with correct deviceid

Send patch to wine-patch mailing list. They are not picked up from the forum.

I don't see anywhere to put the render string.

There isn't one, you can't override the description with any free form text. Well not directly. If you choose vendor & device IDs that match something in Wine's table, then Wine uses corresponding description. So in OP's case he should have used 0x10de : 0x1200 instead.

I tried this but it caused a lot of games to freeze or crash with this error:
err:d3d:resource_init Out of adapter memory

Same thing happened when the video card was recognized as 8300GS and it did not help at all if I set VideoMemorySize to 1024.

You can increase memory size in registry past what you have. Try setting it to 1500.

Still get the same error. But with claudio's patch applied to wine the video card gets detected properly and everything works just fine.

Claudio patch was applied.
