Why my PC can't run NFS Most Wanted 2012 smoothly?

I have Acer Aspire r11 4 GB RAM model. I don't know why my laptop can't run NFS Most Wanted 2012 smoothly even on lowest graphics settings. It requires 2.4 GHz core 2 duo and 2 GB of system RAM, while my laptop's processor have 4 cores that goes upto 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of RAM. So what is the problem with my laptop? WWW

    It is entirely likely that your laptop does not have the required GPU and/or video graphics RAM. 

    Minimum System Requirement:

    OS: (Service Pack 2) 32-Bit
    Processor: 2 GHz Dual Core (Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHZ or Althon X2 2.7 GHz)
    Memory:2 GB
    Hard Drive: 20 GB
    Graphics Card (AMD): DirectX compatible with 512 MB RAM (ATI RADEON 3000, 4000, 5000 OR 6000 series, with ATI RADEON 3870 or higher performance)
    Graphics Card (NVIDIA): DirectX 10.0 compatible with 512 MB RAM (NVIDIA GEFORCE 8, 9, 200, 300, 400 OR 500 series with NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800 GT or higher performance)
    Sound card: DirectX compatible
    Keyboard and Mouse

  • Like many low-end laptops, the Acer Aspire r11 doesn't boast a graphics card designed for gaming. It won't be able to run games that aren't either extremely old or use more than very simple graphics.

    Laptops in general are not built for gaming. Compared to desktops, laptops have less internal space under the hood, meaning larger and more powerful items cannot be placed there. This also reduces the heat management capabilities greatly that desktops often offer. LINK

    Unfortunately, unless you splurge and purchase a gaming-specific laptop or desktop, you will have problems running even games like Minecraft at 60 frames per second on the lowest settings.

    You could try turning the resolution down on the game, that’s what helped it run smoothly on my 2010 Sony Vaio L series all-in one.

  • Im using a rtx 3060 16 gb ram and had same problem, the solution is to minimize tha game, just press CTRL+ALT+TAB go to your desktop then click on game again. It will open in windowed mode and the game will be smooth. that worked for me
