How to get Driver Caps ?

Hi out there!

In my current project i need some infos regarding the caps of the graphics card, the max supported texture format for example.

IVideoDriver->queryFeature() doesn't have this. Is there an solution to get this information without using OGL / DX-API-Calls ?

Thanks in advance.

No, the current feature check only allows for bool returns, and hence the choice of things to query is rather limited.

Damn, so i must go the way over OGL to be platform-independent.

Thx for the answer.

... or you could modify Irrlicht. You have the source available.
