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.

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_Barry
Initially, 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?
