2080ti graphics card not recognized?

★★★ Newbie

I just installed the new evga 2080 ti ftw3 graphics card and loaded up the game for the first time.  When I get to the main menu the game is saying my graphics card is not recognized and then gave me some default graphics.  when i went to go change the graphics the game crashes and now it's unplayable. Only happens with the Sims 4, no other games.  any help?

It is new card and it should be needs to be added to the game's video database. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do it. You need a better specialist. Maybe @roberta591 can advise you.

@BrohemianJoe7   Adding a video chip to Sims 4 only requires you edit the GraphicsCard.sgr file. As there already is a 2080 entry your card may be newer and have a different devise id. The name also has to match. This information can be found when you run dxdiag. You can change the existing line but I prefer to add a new line. The file is a text file and can be edited with notepad.

Is there a link on the steps to add a chip?
