I am using GeForce GTX 765M. The latest version of the driver I am able to update is 425.31, which is not enough for running PVZ the founder version.What can I do if I can't change a video card?

Ok, so basically when I play PvZ BFN my CPU suddenly skyrockets up to 100%. This makes the game EXTREMELY laggy, and yes I do have all my settings at minimum. Keep in mind I have more than the recommended specs, and my computer is really beefy in general. So is it only me that experiences these massive lag spikes? If so, What am I doing wrong?

hi guys ,Im very disapointed : just a small testing in dx12 or dx11 ultra with rtx 2080 and 7700k , 16 Gb , 1 To SSD (win 10 1903 uptodate) : actually unplayable , too many stuttering.do you confirm the same behaviour on your configuration ?I tried the latest 436.30 from NVidia , it s the same.it s very weird , warden garfare 1 and 2 were pretty well optimized , what s wrond with this game ???I play 1440p ultra dx12 on BFV without any problemthanks u very much

@LoaC07 The game runs on 100% CPU AND it uses 0.0% GPU for me

My pc matches all the reccomended except the graphics card i have a 1050 will it still run good or not?

@IISteady320 Your graphics card is higher than recommended so yes it will run just fine. At the moment it may seem like it's your problem but there's constant fps stuttering making the game unplayable.

Please try these steps to help prevent that:

Make sure your monitor is connected to your GPU rather than motherboard video output

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\PVZ Battle for Neighborville\PVZBattleforNeighborville.exe

Select PVZBattleforNeighborville.exe and then Open

Customise individual settings if you like

Exit nvidia control panel and try playing.

If this does not help you, please post your Dxdiag so we can take a look, thanks.

I have exact the same problem. My Specs are way better the the minimum and I play with everything on low. I have the newest graphic driver and so on. But still as soon as I start the game my CPU goes up from 10 to 100% with makes the game really unplayable. I hope the developers plan performance developments soon!
