Game says graphics card doesn't work?

[ElibbytheAdventurer]

Anyone else have this issue? I'm really wanting to play this game but it says my graphics card isn't supported and needs updated, how do I go about that and is it hard to do?

What gpu do you have?

Are your drivers up to date?

It's probably defaulting to the intergrated graphics rather than your Nvidia GPU.

Someone playing Games should have at least basic knowledge about his Computer.

I'm not a guy for one, and two that's why i came to discussions for help, not everyone playing games has to have such knowledge, please don't be rude.

I agree there's no need to be rude about it, but PC gaming does tend to require a willingness to dig around for solutions.

The following should show how to ensure it's using the correct GPU

Thanks, I figured it out after a bit of searching, but thank you for the help!

In my case it was simply that I had unwittingly disconnected my screen's cable from the HDMI port of my powerful graphics card and instead plugged it to the HDMI port of the basic chipset.

I also found that this page has much better explanations on what's going on than the awful Youtube tutorial linked above.

In particular, it shows you what Windows settings to open, both for windows 10 and 11.
