Well, that answers that. I don't completely understand some of your complaints though.

Furthermore it doesn't have the recommended requirements for the 2 games I don't have...grrrrr
If it doesn't, and you can't find them either, then my guess is that they're just straight up not posted.
Don't worry about it. - It is also funny how it can't identify the video card besides the brand. The chip type is useless to most people, what it wants to show is the adapter string (the model number).
- Furthermore it adds the dedicated memory with the shared system memory (1 gb gddr5 with 3 gb of shared ddr3).
- Finally while making sure you have the correct shaders mode with direct x/open gl as well as having enough video memory is important it doesn't seem to look at how fast (calculation units, mhz, and rops) the card has.
1) When you say it can't identify the video card, do you mean in the link I provided? If so, that's understandable. I was on a work computer, and I'm sure that computer had something unrecognizably strange inside. The app has always worked great on every system I've had with a dedicated card, though.
2) Are you saying that if you have an integrated graphics solution with 1gb of shared memory, and your system has 2gb total, the app is reporting 3gb? If so, definitely weird. Not sure I'm following you here though.
3) The "overall power" is basically taken care of through the chipset. I'm not aware of any games currently requiring a graphics card with, for example, a core clock of at least 850mhz. There are a lot of things that go into the general "power" category, whereas shaders and such are specific technologies that are either supported, or not supported. It's easy to report to a consumer that they either have something, or they don't. It's tricky to say anything worthwhile, however, with the stats of a card.
Thanks, I knew of the website before hand, but I never used it for my computer runs everything and I have a severe dislike for activeX. This is what I have personally
Other than being developed and supported by Microsoft, what's not to like? If a piece of software does what I want it to do, I couldn't care less about the delivery mechanism.
Core I7 920
12 GB of DDR3 1600mhz
ATI HD4890 1gb GDDR5 (only cards faster than this card on the market are the 5850, 5870, 5970, GTX 285, GTX 295, GTX470, GTX480) Cards that are similar in speed to my graphic card are the GTX 280, GTX 460, GTX 465 and 5830
64 GB SSD Indilinx Controller (the driver sticker is a supertalent but they used the save drive in several other models such as the ocz vertex and the patriot torq
Er, looks like fun! How much did that all cost you? And do you really use all that power? Maybe you bought an I7 because you're obsessed with video encoding, and the few seconds matter? And 12 gigs of ram? Are you a photoshop wizard running a ram drive? I'll give you a chance to explain yourself, but I'm calling overkill.
