There is, you can get GPU information by using OpenGL:

    Log.d("GL", "GL_RENDERER = "   + gl.glGetString( GL10.GL_RENDERER   ));
    Log.d("GL", "GL_VENDOR = "     + gl.glGetString( GL10.GL_VENDOR     ));
    Log.d("GL", "GL_VERSION = "    + gl.glGetString( GL10.GL_VERSION    ));
    Log.i("GL", "GL_EXTENSIONS = " + gl.glGetString( GL10.GL_EXTENSIONS ));
