From NVIDIA: On checking I found that the game requires an updated driver version and the last driver for your card is version 425.31.
Hence you do not meet the requirement to play the game.
The video card you are using was built on a architecture that does not allow the drivers to be updated further than version 425.31.
Thank you for your understanding.
So it sounds like we are SOL unless EA patches the game to allow the older cards to work, and I doubt they will.
If it wasn't for the anticheat I would just hexedit the driver check to an earlier number and see if it runs.
I wonder what kind of legal issue this lie/error could cause for ea. Publishing min specs that are not valid causing plenty of people to waste time and money. Maybe even to push hardware sales for their corporate interest. How many people are debating a console purchase now.
Any chance that someone from EA will actually respond to this thread? Especially since, it's clearly on them for misrepresentation of the spec requirements for their own product. I don't expect new drivers to be released as support ended over a year ago for these particular GPUs, so that places the onus on EA to fix the issue and make things right. As I've said before, I have virtually no faith that this will actually happen though.
