set everything to ultra. in advanced option set WEAPON DEBRIS OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
can also try geforce experience, optimize the game with that then try the game. sometimes those settings work better than the game's default settings
might also try monitor = 60hz and fps=60 to start and see if the game works
then modify up and/or mod up from there
windows one drive moves the game graphics settings files in folder
Documents\My Games\Fallout4
so either disable one drive or add the folder to exclusions or whatever one drive calls exceptions
You didn't ask any of this, just why isn't your card visible to choose from, but chesh offers you a quick and easy check to make sure you're running OK. Not being identified in the launcher doesn't affect anything, it's just for automatically choosing the graphical settings for you vs you doing it manually. Clearly you can set everything to it's max, but do not turn on HDR if you want crepuscular rays (aka "god rays:) and you'll have to force some of the better antialiasing and shadow options from the NV control panel, like tweaking HBAO+...
There's a guide from 2016 that's still relevant today on NVidia's site, from when 9 series were the current cards, and you're running a 40 series top-end card, so yeah... you're fine. 9,10,16,20,30, and 40... just a slight change, then? heh

Anyway, I'm going to say the exact opposite, on everything he said. Note - he's not wrong, it's just the quicker answer and most gamers are fine with it.
Myself, I am not. And I know there are others that would prefer to see it "proper". It's more involved, but you'll be happier. Unless you're so incapable or non-technical that you cannot download and install stuff manually, in which case go with the easy way.
If you are capable? Great! If you're not, but are willing to learn? Also great! Start with reading stuff like this:

That will get you on the way to understanding mod installations with a mod manager. (I'd highly recommend MO2 over Vortex, but both are fine, so go with whatever one tickles your tastebuds.)
First and foremost is F4SE (required for ~70% of non-CC mods) and second is Antonix35's fix for RTX cards, Weapon Debris Crash Fix, because it is quite fun and seeing your minigun chip up the concrete or asphalt or dirt is just more "more".
Same for that 60hz annoyance - When you go above 60Hz and Havok Physics thinks you're moving that much faster, so at 120Hz you're moving double-speed and 240 quad speed; bumping into something can kill you, stepping off too high a step can kill you, etc. The same guy that made the weapon debris fix also makes the high fps physics fix, that decouples your frame rate from the refresh rate / monitor sync signal... and the sprint stuttering fix... and the long loading times fix, especially for gaming rigs with fast SSDs, is almost a requirement. (the high fps physics fix already speeds up loading, but this speeds up loading everywhere, and works in tandem.)
You'll want all 5 of these, at a bare minimum.

Again, sorry if you were just looking for why your shiny new RTX4090 isn't pickable from the launcher, and you already know all this. I type very fast I have to wait for the screen to catch up to my fingers, so I end up typing book-length posts in the style as if we were talking in person.
Happy modding!
.... You are pretty far behind if you don't understand that the GAME requires the right info.
Your OS and drivers are meaningless if the game's code looks for and doesn't find specific things. It's like looking for an airplane but the only thing on the tarmac is wonder woman's invisible jet. It certainly is a plane, but it's not going to go anywhere if you cannot actually FIND it.
The question they were asking is vague enough that I get why you'd be literal about it but it is unhelpful since it's also wrong. The game needs to know what to look for.
The system, OS, game, Steam, etc all 'recognize' the card - i.e, can see the hardware is there and use it - it just doesn't know what graphics settings to use. People have been asking the same thing for generations of cards now. (because, again, the FO4 launcher doesn't have them listed in it's definition files)
High FPS Physics Fix includes a "long load time fix", so you don't need both of them.
