Can't figure out how to get my graphics card recognized
« on: January 08, 2022, 06:51:33 AM »
This must get really old, but, alas here we are. I need help. I've tried to follow the tutorial on here, I've watched several videos and have tried for the last couple months to fix it but I can't figure it out. The most confusing part is my graphics card didn't have a name to begin with. So I think I figured that out and got it to read -found 1 matched 0- But after that I'm lost.

Alas, I to have been there and no matter what, I have done to fix this, it will not recognize my cards. I can still play. No problems.
With that being said, hopefully MrsFlynn can be of more assistance. She is wonderful and an amazing person when ot comes to trying to figure this out.

It looks like you added the cpu name to the graphics card .sgr file, but didn't add it to the graphics rules .sgr file.

Thank you for sharing the name of the card and device ID. I added it to the graphics files attached to the post below.

Let us know if this works. :)
