You may want to have a chat with whoever swapped out your video card and discuss what or why your machine sees it as a mobile version of the card. From the outside looking in, the game worked previously, then you had a video card replaced, your machine mis-identifies it and now the game doesn't run anywhere near what it should or doesn't run at all. While a bunch can change in a computer, such as drivers, OS updates, installed programs...the issue is your video card basically dropping out of service when trying to play the game, and the only thing major changed since the last time it worked....your video card.
If you are comfortable opening the box, you may want to see if you can swap your video card to another PCI slot and see if your system identifies it correctly. If you aren't then I would talk to whoever worked last on your PC. IF the system truly sees your video card as a mobile as it lists and it isn't then it could cause some weird issues with any program that access the video card...not just DAI, which just happens to be the first most likely. It MAY not make a difference, but anytime my computer doesn't see the correct hardware makes me very nervous because that usually means I have a bunch of PIB work coming up to fix stuff about to go real wrong...
Now for stupid question of the day....your cable going to your monitor, it is plugged INTO the video card and not plugged into the motherboard in some way, thereby using an onboard video card of the MOBO?? Yeah, yeah, I know stupid question, but I have to ask, cause yup, I have seen it....

Me too. I've even done it (although I realized it immediately.) 🤭
