Get all available graphic cards & put into batch variable using Powershell

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61397665/batch-file-to-get-all-available-graphics-...les-and-output

I previously managed to do this thanks to above link that uses the now depreceated WMIC.

Any ideas on how to do using powershell?

Thanks.


The nearest I could find searching was this ...

But how to put result into a batch file variable ?

C:\> $gpu = (Get-WmiObject Win32_VideoController).Name
C:\> $gpu
Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620

C:\> $gpu -like "Intel"
False

C:\> $gpu -like "*Intel*"
True

C:\> $gpu -like "Intel*"
True

try ..

# Get the video controller information
$gpuInfo = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_VideoController

Thanks for trying. When I open a powershell window (as Admin) and enter

$gpu = (Get-WmiObject Win32_VideoController).Name

I just get lots or red error messages?

I managed to get this to work below, (running from a batch file) sort of. But it incorrectly returned false for all tests.
The weird thing is that when I ran it first (from within a powershell window, not batch file) I got some line, (6 lines) that returned true.
But then further testing returned all false also as in batch file.

I'm testing on a laptop that has a Nvidia GPU.


Powershell $gpu -like 'nvidia'
Powershell $gpu -like 'Nvidia'
echo.
Powershell $gpu -like '*nvidia*'
Powershell $gpu -like '*Nvidia*'

Powershell $gpu -like '*nvenc*'
echo.
Powershell $gpu -like 'nvidia*'
Powershell $gpu -like 'Nvidia*'
echo.
pause
exit
