glGetString(GL_VENDOR) returns “Intel” on PC laptops with an NVIDIA or AMD card and Intel graphics. Is there any way to programmatically get the vendor string of the higher end card?
I think it is not just a problem of the vendor string, but of the graphics driver in general. Since the graphics driver actually implements the OpenGL API, it seems you are working with the Intel GPU by default. Try to change some setting of the operating system, so that you actually work with the nVidia/AMD card, then the vendor string should also return the respective value, of course.
