Everytime i try to launch Dead Space 3 i get the message "Your graphics card does not meet minimum requirements". I play Dragon Age Inquisition in ultra settings in the same computer so, needless to say, this message is an error. I have already made a profile for Dead Space 3 in the Nvidia Control Panel, so my computer use the nvidia card and not the integrated one. The computer is an msi gaming laptop running windows 8.1. I have of course tried to run it in compatibility mode. Nothing works. I have seen some other posts of people with the same problem, but it seems like they got no answer, besides the stuff i already metioned wich do not solve anything. So, ¿What can i do to make origin let me play or bypass these faulty check?

If you could post your Dxdiag on hastebin then post the link here we could take a look and may be able to advise you.

I'm getting this problem too - I'm using a brand new lenovo Y50-70 which has a nvidia 860m graphics card in it (so should be fine specs-wise). It also has integrated graphics, but even explicitly loading everything with the 860m (which windows has set as the default for the game anyway) doesn't work. Dxdiag output here: http://hastebin.com/xetuwefiyi.tex

@thodar12 Is this what you did to be sure your discrete GPU is being used rather than the on-board IGP? Open the nvidia control panel Manage 3D settings, Program settings tab Click add to choose the program to customize Click browse and choose: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dead Space 3\deadspace3.exe Set your graphics preferences and click apply.

Hi @EA_BarryInitially, I'd gone to the deadspace3.exe file you mentioned in windows explorer and right clicked, then selected the dedicated GPU as the default using the dropdown menu.I've tried doing it in the way you've described (and, interestingly, it wa already registering the nvidia Geforce 860m as the default card), but it still does not work I'm afraid. Presumably there's some system check being done at startup to check whether theh graphics card is up to scratch, and it's being thrown off by the fact that there are two unrelated graphics cards in the system. It seems like a bug to me, can you confirm this?

I cannot confirm this is a bug at this time. Can you host your Dxdiag file on hastebin and then post the link to that here so we can take a look please?

I have the same issue, my graphics card does not meet the basic requirements? I ran Metro Last Light and Rome II comfortably at highest setting. Is there a solution or can i get a refund for my game?
