Texture Memory NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060?

[Ronald1962]

I am trying to update my Graphics_Files-Feb2022 file and the DeviceConfig.log is reading [Found: 0, Matched: 1].

=== Graphics device info ===
Number:          0
Name (driver):   NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060
Name (database): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 [Found: 0, Matched: 1]
Vendor:          NVIDIA
Chipset:         Vendor: 10de, Device: 2504, Board: 40741458, Chipset: 00a1
Driver:          nvldumd.dll, Version: 30.0.14.9729, GUID: D7B71E3E-6644-11CF-E951-7A600EC2D335
Driver version:  9729
Monitor:         \\.\DISPLAY1
Texture memory:  2048MB
Vertex program:  3.0
Pixel program:   3.0
Hardware TnL:    1

Does anyone know if that should be 64 instead of 2048 or maybe 112?

It's my understanding that when the graphics device info reports Found 0 matched 1 that means the card isn't in the game's database yet and needs to be added.

Thank you for sharing your Device ID (Device: 2504) I was able to add your card to the GraphicsCards.sgr file under the vendor "NVIDIA" 0x10b4 0x12d2 0x10de line. As shown in the screenshot below:

You shouldn't need to worry about texture memory, it's fine set at 2048MB. We set it that way so the game can see 2GB of memory.

If you feel that's too high you can change it to back to the default of 32MB.

Thank you very much. You have been extremely helpful.

Sweet!! Awesome!! I'm happy that helped!!

I have the exact graphics card and I guess you uploded the version you added this line because it's already added. Thank you so much

But I can't do this 'matched' test because deviceconfig file is nowhere to be found 

[MrsFlynn]

We checked our GraphicsRules.sgr file and it's there.

What might be happening is that the device id is slightly different on your card. We have run into this before.

You mentioned your DeviceConfig.log is empty, try the tips in the post linked below:
