Sims 4 is Not recognizing my graphics card. I just upgraded my GPU to an ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (8GB). I know that the GPU meets the sims 4 requirements Because I checked and this is way better than my previous video card which was NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 (1GB). Now I've looked up the list of graphics cards for the sims 4 in GraphicsCards.srg but in both of the bin folders, Bin and Bin_LE. but only the [BIN] folder has the 30 series of graphics cards and the [BIN_LE] doesn't. So I do believe the sims 4 can recognize my GPU but I don't know how to get the game to do so. I've tried to follow directions and add my GPU to the graphic card list and it didn't work. I think I've tried everything, I uninstalled and reinstalled the sims 4. I tried to put it on high performance through the NVIDIA Control panel still didn't work. I have repaired the game about 5 times, and my drivers and everything are updated I even installed my GPU in again and the sims 4 still doesn't recognize it. My game runs super slow because it runs on my CPU. The whole point of my upgrading from the GTX to the RTX is for my game to run smoothly. I've been dealing with this for about a week now and I need some advice!!!

Hey @Tommygamez1,
I've moved your post to a more relevant board than EA General Questions.
