    @PaigePlays4  Restart your computer and try again, still with the EA App and EABackgroundService not running.  (Make sure the App doesn't start wtih Windows.)

    If that doesn't help, is this an admin Windows account?  It needs to be in order to make these changes.  If it is, then try temporarily disabling your antivirus, just long enough to edit the files.

@PaigePlays4  What exactly is reset: your in-game graphics options, or something in DeviceConfig or graphicsrules.sgr or some other file?

The reason your GPU is now found but not matched is because there is no entry in graphicsrules.sgr that matches the card, at least from what you've pasted here.  The easiest way to fix this is to replace the 8800 with RTX 3050 , with nothing else changed or deleted, not even the asterisks.
