Which Line of Code to Update in Graphicscards.sgr File

Hey guys. Super silly question:

I'm trying to get TS4 to recognize my friend's RTX 3050 graphics card. I've done this before for my PC, but I'm not sure which line of code to update in his .sgr file. I've attached screenshots of both his graphics info and the .sgr file. I'm not sure if it matters which 3050 line of code I need to change to match with his graphics card, or which one I should pick. I'd be super grateful for some instructions.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

    @PerfectPlumbobs  It actually doesn't matter which entry you change.  You could add your friend's device ID under any line you want, or make a new line and call it whatever you like.  There are only two relevant details: that you're adding the device ID in the Nvidia section (you are) and that the entry you're using is for a card rated Uber (all the 3050s are).

    If you want to be precise, none of these entries is exactly correct for your friend's card since they're all laptop GPUs and he has, I believe, one of these:

    Like I said, it doesn't matter, but by the strictest definition, you'd create a new line with this:

        card    0x2507  "NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050"   $cardLevelUber  $resolutionHigh

    The issue here is that Sims 4's database doesn't have the newest device IDs yet, including those for the relatively recently-released 3050 desktop GPU.

    @puzzlezaddict That makes so much sense! Does it matter where I create that new line? Should it be above or below the laptop GPU's, or does it not matter? Thanks so much
