Older games don’t register newer cards and think they are older cards since they didn’t exist at that time

Pretty normal tbh
Alice Madness Returns also did this to me (using a RTX 3070)

I know it’s one patch away from being fixed, and it’s probably gonna come out, like tomorrow, but I’d still be all, “Excuse YOU?!”

Super common with old games, they had a list of GPU’s in a init file. Anything not on the list is flagged.

Alright bud. You need a 6090

Oblivion does this.

Fallout 4 did this with my 3070ti, yet 3/NV had no problem recognizing the card. 😅

I never got why this is a thing.
Like, sure, it doesn’t know that gpu, BUT to know that it doesn’t know that gpu, it has to have a databank of gpus it knows, which are probably all that existed at the time of its release. So instead of being like, “I don’t know this card, it’s probably weak, here are the low settings”, I always thought it’d make more sense for the game to be like, “oh hey I don’t know that gpu, it’s probably a new ballin gpu, here are the high settings”
