    If your machine is relying on the video hardware of the CPU then you may have an issue. If your machine has a GTX-860M you should be able to play with that and may just need a little configuration.

    If you do have a GTX-860M then try this:

    Try the following to be sure your discrete GPU is being used rather than the on-board IGP.

    1. Open the nvidia control panel
    2. Manage 3D settings, Program settings tab
    3. Click add to choose the program to customize
    4. Click browse and choose: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dead Space\Dead Space.exe
    5. Set your graphics preferences and click apply.

    Then do the same but specify the DS2 executable.

    If you are unsure of your hardware specs you could generate a Dxdiag report, upload that to hastebin and post the link to that here.

    It seems like your native display resolution is 3840 x 2160, can you try setting a resolution of 1920 x 1080 in your nvidia control panel and then retry playing?

    The highest resolution i can have on my laptop is 3840 x 2160. I always set my resolution to 1920x1080. So thats not the problem. Also I tried to disable my Intel Graphics Card and I dont get this message aymore, but when the game is ready to launch i get the message  "Could not initialize display hardware. Please Restart Dead Space" or "Dead Space has stopped working".
    also I have tried to change the compatibility issues by putting combatibility settings of windows 7 and XP

    Your video drivers are quite old (9/14/2015), it may be worthwhile installing the most recent non-beta video drivers for your setup. When you run the installer, choose custom install and then Clean install and deselect the 3D and GeForce Experience components before completing the setup.

    Again, let us know how you get on with this, thanks.

    I have a similar issue, but I am using a Ryzen 5 2400g.

    It has the power to run Dead Space just fine, but I get the same, "you graphics card does not meet minimum requirements" message.

    Any advice?

    I have even upgraded now to an RX 580 discrete card, which can handle this game 4 times over...and I am still getting this same message.

    I have this problem in all three games in liquid sky. It's a cloud computer that run Nvidia grid in windows server edition 

    I just can't figure out what it's actually checking

    I will try to run dxdiag but it's really finicky to do anything windowsy on a touch screen  Operating desktop windows in touch screen is a a nightmare.. If you could run it there and find out would be much greater. Might be enough to test it on any windows server Nvidia grid pc. Not this particular one
