Windows – Get the video card model via command line in Windows

command linewindows

I need to get a text output with the video card / GPU model, using any tool existing in all Windows versions from XP onwards (unlikely, I haven't found anything yet) or using any small command line third party tool.

Any ideas?

does the job concisely from commmand line. Thanks to Vlastimil Ovčáčík's answer above but not sure why its so verbose.

This is horrible, and stupid, and slow, but seems to work:

ffmpeg -i foo.avi -vcodec copy -f rawvideo -y /dev/null 2>&1 | tr ^M '\n' | awk '/^frame=/ {print $2}'|tail -n 1

It will also work right on truncated files and raw streams(that is why you get nothing for .vob files)

Windows – OS X `say` command for Windows

PTTS is a very simple Microsoft Windows command line program to convert text to speech. If uses the Microsoft Text to Speech Engine and the Microsoft Speech SDK. The Text to Speech Engine is installed with Windows XP with one voice of somewhat poor quality. The Jampal installation program includes two better sounding voices. (quoted from website)

One can use it by simply entering the text into the program by redirection or by piping in text:

ptts < file.txt
echo Hello there|ptts
