The Sims 4 - Video Card Error
Hey all! I've noticed that this has been a common issue but I can't seem to figure out why nothing is working for me.
Anytime I try to run The Sims 4, I get an error message that says:
"Unable to start:
Can't run The Sims 4 with the video card in this system. Please check that the video card meets the minimum specifications and that the latest video drivers are installed.
[0e6d1221:df4e8dc:80010000:00000000]"
I've included the DxDiag, however I know for a fact that my graphics card is compatible.
I've completed the following tasks in order to fix this:
1) Uninstall and reinstall of The Sims 4 (as well as re-downloading)
2) Uninstall and reinstall of Origin (as well as re-downloading)
3) Uninstalling and reinstalling all drivers for my video card
4) Rebooting
5) I have disabled Origin In-Game
I should also mention that Origin is behaving in a sort of buggy way when I open up windows to adjust settings (such as the Game Properties window for the Sims 4), as in most of the content in the popup windows don't appear in a sort of glitchy way. It's hard to explain but a lot of the time when one of the fixes requires looking in one of the preferences windows I can't view them properly in order to change any settings. Not sure if that is related to the problem or what.
If anyone could help me troubleshoot this it would be excellent, because I've been at it for over two hours already and I've pretty much lost what little sanity I had in the first place.
Your graphics card drivers are from september 2017, I think there should be a newer one.
Could you try installing the GeForce Expierence: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/geforce-experience/
And see if that detects a newer version?
