Motivation

Another way to identify manufacturers of hardware devices. This is equivalent to USB vendor ID (P1167), but for PCI devices instead of USB devices (e.g. CPUs, graphics cards, motherboard components, etc).

Although PCI-SIG (Q3891514)'s website is official (as they are the issuers of this ID), be careful using it, as it lists the decimal ID first before the hexadecimal ID, which is what should be used for this property (the decimal version is rarely used anywhere else, which is why I opted for hex values for this property). PCI-SIG also will only list one VID per vendor, but some vendors have multiple. –IagoQnsi (talk) 18:38, 9 August 2025 (UTC)
