Just *look* at what is quoted. *How can I check the graphics card model of my computer and how can I test the floating-point computing capability of the graphics card?* Did you even read that? You do not need root to check the graphics card model in use with lspci. I doubt whether you can *test* the floating-point computing capability of the graphics card with lscpi as root either. So my point stands.
