I have a project going where i need to gather information from a computer with graphic cards, from 1 up to 12, it has. This information is then saved in the cloud to be used later on.
What i need, to a minimun is:
What GPU it is How much memory Which PCI-slot it is using, 1, 2, 3 etc (or whatever name it is)
Windows WMI seems to have some information, and i have been looking through the different classes but it seems difficult to find the PCI-E slot. Do anyone know how to get this information?
You should look for PCI slot I do not see any PCI-E definitions in the strings (does not mean there are none). If I try just "PCI" the results enum both PCI and PCI-E devices. In BDS2006 C++/VCL I am using this (I busted some time ago) just by changing the match string:

Just ignore the VCL stuff. The important stuff is USBinfo() function (yes I use it to obtain USB info). It will enumerate all the devices (like in Device Manager) matching string you init it with (the 3 similar lines 2 of them remed out). Just be clear AnsiString is string class (elements are accessed from [1] instead of [0]) and DWORD is unsigned 32 bit int. The Main->mm_log is just TMemo where I output the results. Do not forget to include setupapi.h
The interface can fetch any information you found in the device manager of Windows just use the SPDRP_ property you need (they are listed in the setupapi.h here is what mine contains:

However As you collecting GPU info you might want to try also OpenGL approach:
You can collect list of supproted extentions and features and also obtain specific GPU info like number of pipelines, texture units, for some even free memory ...
