Re: NVIDIA 359.06 Still having issues with gtx 860m?

nVIDIA's promises are seldom something to mark down on a calendar and expect them to fulfill them at all quickly.  Optimus problems have a long history of being ignored.  As best as I can be certain, there have been crippled GPUs sold under that name for at least five years, and they have been failing in games ever since. 

nVIDIA removed the front ends, leaving the switching up to software, which simply doesn't work with game-intended systems!

What are you talking about? Where in the system requirements do you see that the 860m is supported?

Oh .. you don’t see that. Right .. it is because it is not supported. Get a real gamming gpu.

    EA had no intention of excluding any particular product in the "n60" series when their Minimums and Recommended GPUs were chosen.  They did their testing with desktop hardware because they wouldn't torture any employees with the terrible keyboards that laptops have, so they never experienced any Optimus difficulties, nor any more specific problems related to the GTX 860m cards for mobile PCs.  

    Minimum PC System Requirements

        OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later (Win 7 should have SP 1)
        Processor (Intel): Intel i3 6300T or equivalent (3.3 GHz)
        Memory: 8GB RAM
        Hard Drive: At least 40 GB of free space
        Graphics card (NVIDIA): nVidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB
        Graphics card (ATI): ATI Radeon HD 7850 2GB
        DirectX: 11.0 Compatible video card or equivalent
        Online Connection Requirements: 512 KBPS or faster Internet connection

    Im playing fine on high settings on an 860m, it runs smoothly and without problems, but im playing on older drivers while they fix the direct x 11 issue, i didn´t had any problems related to optimus tech also.
