    There is a newer driver available for your GPU. Link

    Preform a clean installation of the driver > reboot > test

    Edit: Do you use any mods?

    I am not using any mods. Just edited coalesced for some keybinding stuff. The game is 6 years old and I've had the issue on my last gpu which was an nvidia so I am quite sure its not the gpu drivers. I am reluctant to update my drivers because this version runs very stable for me for other games and apps which was not the case with the previous 2 driver versions. I did a clean install with the current drivers. I am open to other sugesstions however.
    Thanks in advance.

    Usually I am in favour of not changing a working system until there are problems, but you have a problem. 😉


    Well, lets try something else first.
    Did you reinstalled the game after you changed hardware?

    Make a backup of your edited "Coalesced.bin" > Repair the game. (in Origin > Game Library > right click ME3 > Repair) > test.

    If that don't works, make sure Origin is completely closed > move the "Config" folder from your "Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect 3\BIOGame" folder to your desktop > test the game

    I did reinstall the game after getting the new gpu. Thinking of that... the only piece of gpu related software I still use in regards to ME3 is nvidia PhysX. I had removed it when performing a clean install of the new gpu drivers so I had to reinstal ME3 afterwards to force reinstalling PhysX as the game wouldnt run withiut it. Might that hold the key for a solution somehow?

    PhysX is not the first thing I would look at regarding this error, not saying that it couldn't be responsible. 

    Nevertheless, I would suggest that you first test the two recommendations that I mentioned in my last post.
