Unrecognized Video Card

★ Novice

I made a whole town in Sims 4 and everything was fine then I opened the game one day and I got a popup that there is an unrecognized video card. I have an HP Pavilion with an intel cor i5 10th gen.

RTX 3080 not recognized

Upgraded my PC two weeks ago and when booting up The Sims 4 it fails recognizing my graphics card. 

 

Sharing the Config.log and hopefully this can be fixed.

@EnigmaChucker Merged your post with the master. As the virus scanner is not working could you either c/p the content of the file or upload to a third party site and link

Do try the text file provided on the first page. Not sure if the 3080 are all in there yet.

Good Luck

@puzzlezaddict Card is recognized now but the refresh rate is max 120 now, and my monitor is 165. all settings are on 165 in Windows10 and Nvidia control panel. any way to fix this?

Re: RTX 3080 not recognized

@EnigmaChucker  Are you talking about the refresh rate options in the game settings, or somewhere else?  If it's within the game settings, you can simply choose to leave it on default, and I think the game won't impose any limit.  So you could use the Nvidia Control Panel's vertical sync or max frame rate settings, under program and global settings, respectively, to manually limit fps.

 

If this doesn't work, try playing in "windowed fullscreen" (i.e. borderless) instead of fullscreen.
