Graphics card does not meet the minimal specifications requirements
Hello! Anyone else getting this message after the update?
Have a RTX4080 running Win11. Tried updating everything to the latest drivers with no luck.

(sigh) They partnered with AMD to make this game. Which means of course that:
A) they've kicked the vast majority of gamers in the teeth and it runs like rubbish on Nvidia cards.
B) They may not have paid attention to the latest Nvidia developments, meaning that the game is failing to register exactly what kind of card you have and thinking it's some generic flop.

So the bottom line is, if you're like most gamers and have an Nvidia card, you kinda got screwed on this game.

PS, forgive my use of the word 'cards', I hail from a time before GPUs were a thing, much less modern times when they're really a full-fledged computer in their own right, that for some reason is still stuck inside a case that's pretending to be a computer without them.

You can definitely play with a 4080. Search "Graphics card does not meet the minimal specifications" in the main forum to find the solution. I've see the topic pop up a few times but didn't read through to learn how to fix the error.

Having no problem with my RTX 3070 Ti.
Before or after the update.

Sorry but that is totally untrue.

Please do not mislead people.

It’s DOUBLE Confirmed AMD didn’t Block DLSS in Starfield:

Lol stop spreading this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

OP, this is an issue that's affecting people regardless of their GPU. You should be able to find a fix for it somewhere else where people aren't trying to troll 24/7

Update your drivers maybe?

That message is totally meaningless - it could be that your card is not on a list that is in game, or it could be some other reason. Doesn't matter - just close it and the game launches.

Getting the same error on a 7900 XTX with latest drivers (23.9.1).
Graphics card does not meet the minimal specifications.

Stop breaking games, Bethesda.

In fact, you're not receiving any more money from me. You are now going on my ignored Publishers list next to Gearbox Software.
