Do you have your monitor (or one of them) plugged into your motherboard video connector instead of the GPU?

Your machine may be defaulting to your Intel video processing on your CPU rather than your GTX.

Open the nvidia Control Panel
Click Manage 3D settings
Click the Program Settings tab
Click the Add button
Select the game from the list or click browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed\NFS16.exe
Select NFS16.exe and then Open

Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

Please try this and let us know if you are good to go. Thanks.
