is this your GPU - Quadro P3200? Nvidia
I would say you should be supported to play BF5?
It should hold up - but it just may not be supported. As you said, drivers dependant. How specific are DICE with the channel - does it have to be GTX/Radeon?
Yes guys, I WAS supported by BF5 and BF5 worked until the driver release 3 days ago. They did not release new p3200 drivers, only for gaming cards. They left my professional card drivers out of the release so now my game won't boot.

- VIDEO CARD: DirectX 11.0 Compatible video card with 2 GB VRAM (AMD Radeon HD 7850 / nVidia GeForce GTX 660) - Minimum.

You can not use performance metrics to justify that Quadro cards are within the minimum specifications because Quadro cards are not even mentioned in the specifications which mean all Quadro cards are officially not supported (and with good reason because they are not gaming cards and Nvidia does not treat them as gaming cards). It's like saying monster trucks should be able to participate in the 24 hour Le Mans race just because they have enough horsepower.

I have the same issue. Bought BF V two weeks ago and haven't played yet as the newest Nvidia driver for my P3200 card is not new enough... EA should fix that. Can't be that they require drivers that aren't available even in experimental version.
EA can't really fix a graphics card not getting driver updates. Asking Nvidia for a hotfix driver would seem like a more logical way to handle this.
Sure, EA does not write graphic cards drivers. But before they decide what the minimum driver version is, they could check if that driver version is also widely available...
I've also sent a feedback to Nvidia, but in my opinion it's the game programmer who should make sure that the game can be played on brand new computers/laptops.

The driver is widely available. It's available for all cards that are at or above the minimum system requirements. The number of people out there with Quadro cards that actually want to game on those machines is probably incredibly low.
The "game programmer", in this case DICE, has made sure the game can be played on brand new regular consumer computers/laptops, the problem is that Quadro cards are not for regular consumers, it's for professional workstations and enterprise solutions.
You will notice that the AMD workstation graphics cards work the same way - the Radeon™ Pro WX Series Graphics also are on a completely different driver release schedule.
Not sure you read my post right.. but yes what you said is what I said but in fewer words.
😉
You have to rename the nvapi like they said. Just let the game load and den rename the file back. Fps should be back up. Works for my p2000. But yes. I hate it from each/Nvidia that they want to force you using latest game ready drivers which they certainly do not release for all cards .This sucks and should not be the case. Shame on you ea. Also no specifications is telling you anything about that .
