"Cannot Detect GPU, Starting at Lowest Setting"

[Sinkitsune]

Why is it giving me this but Skyrim doesn't?

I put it at max and it ran anyway (Crashes if I use Weapons Debre) and runs pretty crap, even have it installed on my SSD and load screens are a good minute long.

I have a beast of PC now that has a geforce RTX 2070ti and specs WAY out of this games recommended.

I'm at work right now so I can't give the best spec showcase, tho if someone could link to somethin that gives a nice summery of my PC that'd be great too.

the PC runs Kingdom Come Deliverance on 100% Max at 50-60 fps if that helps.

When you have time,
and are at home,
sit on your throne,
and post pc specs

Bad rhyme I know. There's plenty of posts regarding what could be at fault on your end, we'll try to nitpick at them one at a time, untill then good luck at work.

Some 3rd party hardware isn't recognized very well. It doesn't mean it won't work, just that the game doesn't know what it is to auto adjust settings for.

My 780 ti gave me that prompt quite a bit. My 1080 ti does too but it's more rare.

If it keeps telling you that every time you launch I would find it odd though. I only get it once adjust the settings and then never see it again with the settings saved.

My 2060 did the same thing. I had to mess around with settings and look at multiple tweak guides. The game is only fairly optimized it seems, and our cards befuddle it

I had a similar problem on my laptop but i'm not sure if this would be applicable to you. I tried to play minecraft with a friend a while ago on it and i realized after a while it was running the onboard graphics instead of the 1050. The other times i played games on the device it was fine and would detect the 1050.

The fix for it was to find the nvidia control thing and switch it to your dedicated card.

As for RTX cards, my new setup has a 2080 and it also appears to work fine with Fallout 4.

Turn godrays off or set them to low if you're too lazy to edit the ini's. There's no need for them and mods are superior. This is one of the biggest fps tanks.

Shadows to low/ medium. Again mods are superior.

FXAA is superior to TAA in most cases (compatability issues with AMD mostly, usually driver related in my experience). You can utilize the large vram pool for texture packs to clean up the edges. Mods yet again win here too.

Disable motion blur. Really? Who cares about this useless setting?

Disable weapon debris (memory leak, can hurt any system but RTX apparently has a hard incompatibility with it).

There's some other tweaks you can make but hardcore ini edits are mostly placebo IMO unless mod related.

With your GPU you don't have to turn off s**t. Just Google how to get your card recognized.

Wow. What a useless comment.

This is a nice resource for learning about the ini's and what the settings do.

To improve loading times you can use this. My load times are 5 to 10 seconds on a SSD with it. Without closer to 30 seconds. READ THE GUIDE TO THE MOD.

Finally here's a nice place to find some guides and help on everything Fallout 4.

You do need to turn off weapon debris, at least for now, because it crashes the game.

It's not a bug. Just set the game where you want it and start playing. If you're on Nvidia, you can even get a little spyware app from Nvidia that will make the settings for you.

Geforce Experience is useless 9/10 times. Large amount of games aren't even recognized by the app still.

idk why but installing the Unofficial Patch fixed things =\

[Nite69]

this always happens with newer hardware on older games, it happened with my GTX 1070 too since Fallout 4 came out way before it did

I had the same issue just after installing a new GPU (upgrade from an RX 480 to an RX 580).
All I did was manually set the graphics parameters to what I was getting prior to the upgrade.
(To Ultra).
It works fine.

Although you're using an NVidea card, I'm sure you can do the same thing with your settings.

Still get long loads even tho I'm on a SSD =\
