Microsoft's new FS2024 not compatibel to Omen ?

[Heinz-Omen]

As a flight enthusiast I was delighted to run FS2020 on my new Omen which I bought only to fly.

Now I bought the successor FS2024 with an even more detailed landscape - and  NOTHING! The message that appears while booting the software says: " Shader Model 6.7 is not supported by this device! Maximum Shader Model supported is 6.6."

Great - what in the hell is a shader Model and why can't my expensive OMEN not handle the new FS2024? 

I updated the video driver - but no change.

I think it would be fair if HP can suggest a solution.

Thank you whoever might read this.

@Heinz-Omen, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

You're running into a limitation of your GPU (graphics card) — specifically, it's related to Shader Model support, which is required by modern games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (FS2024).

What is Shader Model?

Shader Models are part of DirectX, a graphics API used by Windows for rendering. Each version of Shader Model introduces more advanced graphical features. FS2024 requires Shader Model 6.7, which is only supported by the very latest GPUs and drivers.

Your PC supports Shader Model 6.6, which likely means the GPU is outdated for FS2024.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is more graphically demanding and designed with the latest hardware in mind. 

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

Take care and have a good day.
