Upgrade GPU glitch

[Banana Man]

ran into this glitch just now. All the customer says is to upgrade the graphics card. easy enough. I had a slight upgrade on hand so I threw it in. Didn't work. Bought another GPU slightly better, still didnt work. Bought the best one available. Nada. No matter what I put in the game says I havent upgraded it. Anyone else run into this?

[Mr. Mime]

Yeah im having a similar issue. One PC upgraded fine but this sli rig isnt upgrading

yes i have had faw of them saying upgrade cpu and gpu done it to 1 butter or the best in the game and the game says it still needs upgradeing that need fixing asap

[JacketPC]

Me too, so I always return the card if I upgrade it.

The game doesnt not register "1 better" sadly, it's looking for an upgrade.

Best way to look at it is like you would in real life.

You wouldn't upgrade a 1050 to a 1050Ti - or a Ryzen 5 1600 to a 1600X right? (assuming you're buying new and paying good whack for it) you need to bump up by at least 3 ranks according to the in game Part Ranking.

This goes for both CPU and GPU's.

but like i said, I also bought the best possible one and it wouldn't register.

[INHALE MY DONG!]

Yup same problem here.

I had a guy with a 2 R7 280's I think it was and wanted it upgraded for $185.. for that payment.. the cost of the job exceeded what I was going to make. Not to mention I spent over $1000 on cards and none of them registered as an upgrade even though the 3dmark was better that previous

Could you give us screenshots of it? Not that I dont believe you just easier to identify.

Also I've had the habit of getting the most profitable jobs. rejecting everything else other than the Job Arc's, New Builds and Diagnose and Fix's and I reject everything else. Since theres no consequence theres no reason not to do it and its more profitable than those jobs such as upgrade CPU / Ram / GPU.

Sometimes if the gpu needs to be plugged into the PSU it won't activate as upgraded until then.

anyone find a fix?

[ninexxx]

send me your save game files and ill fix it for ya its all simple mistakes people make

[Duce]

have you installed it correctly? I had the same issue, because I didn't connect the power cables. After connecting them, 'upgrade GPU' turned green.

I just had this issue. The person had a MSI Radeon R9 370 GAMING 4G which is number 36 on the part rankings, and I gave them an MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G wich is number 14 on the part rankings and it still would not register the GPU as upgraded. And before anybody brins it up yes I did have everything hooked up correctly.

maybe share a save ?
(nice gravedig btw... but as it seems to be same issue, no problem for that)

Also, maybe add pics if not a share of the save game

im having the same issue
tried upgrading with a card i had on hand no dice, then bought top of the line since his budget was 800$ but still nothing even though since he had a radeon maybe i had to stay in manufacturer line, but it didnt matter, all is connected comp boots no problem and his benchmark score is over 1000 more but still wont trigger.
