How to learn the identity of the graphics card?

[Kevin Rushforth]

Yeah, that would be a bit of a problem. Without doing something like 
that, though, it would just be an approximation, since the performance 
of animation depends on the complexity of the geometry, the performance 
of the GPU, the performance of the CPU, etc.
