@madmactang Can you please post your Dxdiag report here so we can check your machine meets the minimum requirements and also that you are using the correct video drivers. https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/pc/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/ Thanks.

@madmactang Thanks for posting the requested file. Your machine may be defaulting to your Intel video processing on your CPU rather than your nvidia video card. 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 The Run\Need For Speed The Run.exe Select Need For Speed The Run.exe and then Open Customise individual settings if you like Exit nvidia control panel and try playing. Please try this and let us know if you are good to go.

still doesn't workthe nvidia driver automaticly set the game running on the nvidia card.I changed the setting in my notebook's BIOS to only use the nvidia card, but it seems nothing changed.

If your game is working, there is no problem with leaving the HD3000 disabled as your nvidia is the better video hardware anyway.

That should not be the case, it may be worthwhile visiting the Lenovo website to check for and install any available system updates.

This link is probably a good place to start: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ie/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t420/4177/q5u/downloads?linkTrack=footer:Support_Downloads

I'm sure all my drivers and softwares are updated
and I guess the NVIDIA's driver is the problem
so i'm contacting NVIDIA
