HardwareInfos is a tiny tool that quickly provides essential information regarding the graphics controller and its capabilities under OpenGL. The CPU/GPU information can be exported to a conveniant XML file. It is also possible to display the OpenGL extensions list supported by the graphics card.

The information is classified under 3 categories:

• System: CPU, frequency, memory, Windows version and Service Pack number.
• Graphics Controller: model, vendor, supported OpenGL version and graphics drivers version.
• OpenGL Features: this section is regularly updated with each new release of the 3D engine, but we can still get the same important information such as the texture size, the number of texture units (a fundamental feature with the increased use of vertex and pixel shaders that stress the texture units in order to achieve the latest dazzling graphics effect), vertex and pixel shaders support, VBO/PBO support (Vertex/Pixel Buffer Object: OpenGL extension that helps improving 3D objects rendering).
