Trick game into thinking I'm using a different GPU?

[ManBearPig]

Is there any way to do this? I have a game that wont work on widescreen with any patched exes (i have the cd) on an intel integrated gpu, so i want to make the game think i have something else.

That depends on the game, I'm not sure if there's a uniform way that games query what GPU your system is running. There's a number of different places they could get it from as well, they could get it from the GPU directly, the drivers that are currently running on your system or by querying DirectX. What game is it that you're trying to do this with?

I remember using 3D Analyze back in the day for some stuff; but it was mostly for emulating pixel shader and TnL, don't know if it can do what you want. The only other thing I can think of is to fire up ollydbg and do some hackery. Way easier said than done though.
