I have an Nvidia GPU GTX 470 - Can I get it's serial number with out opening the case?
EDITThanks for all the comments: I tried the Device path as well as the WMIC command (which are the same actually)Value returned from the WMIC command
The WMIC (device path is) 2F1C4782 which is translated to: 790382466 (converted to decimal).
My card SN is: 101500021088 - I think this does not get the correct values.
Note: Note that this technique only works if the hardware manufacturer implements it. I can't give a percentage of accuracy, but I would guess the big players would implement it. If it's not implemented, Windows will generate a unique number instead.
New Sprites and New Pokemon: There are some new sprites which are available in the community. You can also make some custom quality sprites from the existing ones easily. Gba pokemon ruby randomizer rom download.
Method 1 - Device Manager
Open the Windows Device Manager. Find your video card under Display Adapters. Double-click on it. Under the 'Details' tab, select the 'Device Instance Path' property.
Method 2 - WMI Online install windows 7 ultimate.
Using WMI, at the command line, run the following command.
Method 3 - Use a Tool
A program like SIW will grab the PNP Device ID for you, but it won't do the parsing for the serial number.
Parsing It
Looking at the PNPDeviceID value, break it up by '.
I contacted Nvidia via chat-support on this subject, and unfortunately the official answer to your question is no:
the only way to get the serial number of the graphics card is, it will be written on the graphics card hardware or the box of purchase.
