Re: HElP the sims 3 can't recognize my graphics card!!

@soozis  Are you sure the syntax is exact - punctuation and capitalization is exact to what is listed in the dxdiag?  Like GTX 1060 and not gtx 1060 - it has to match what Direct X is reporting. Maybe a comma instead of a semicolon.

@soozis  That means you have a syntax error. In TS3 there are 2 files you have to edit. The first file lists the graphics chips and the second file describes the capabilities of the chip. As I don't  have a 1060 I don't know exactly how the chip is named and the code for that chip I don't know what to edit. I have seen several how to post about this and they all say the same thing.

this is the entry for GraphicsCards.sgr for GTX 960 chip

GraphicsCards.sgr       

    card 0x0fe0 "GeForce GTX 660M"
    card 1401 "Geforce GTX 960"
    card 0x124d "GeForce GT 555M"

you see I added card 1401 "GeForce GTX 960"    for my GTX 960 card

entry for GraphicRules.sgr

GraphicsRules.sgr

elseif (match("${cardName}", "*8800*") or match("${cardName}", "*9500*") or match("${cardName}", "*9600 GSO*") or match("${cardName}", "*9600 GT*") or match("${cardName}", "*9800 *") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*2?00M*") or match("${cardName}", "*3?00M*") or match("${cardName}", "*Quadro*FX 5??0*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 1?0*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 150*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 250*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 2??*")  or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GeForce G2??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 3??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 3??*")  or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 3??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GeForce 3??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 4??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 4??*")  or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 4??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 5??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTS 5??*")  or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 9??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GT 6??*") or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 6??*"))
        seti cardLevel $cardLevelUber
        seti isCardMatched true

you can see I added this in the line      or match("${cardName}", "*GTX 9??*")     for a Nvidia GTX 960 card

Again I don't have a 1060 to know what the code is or how the card identifies itself.

I have had to do this more then once as I had a GTX 550Ti before the GTX 960
