Yes the freedownload link given to me by Gorath_The_Elder did in fact downgrade my graphics card from AMD Radeon HD 7450A (release date: 1st jan 2012) to AMD Radeon HD 6450 (release date: 7th apr 2011) regardless I use auto detect or manual search mode. Its a switch from 7000 series to 6000 series therefore I have to perform system restore.
And my paid version of DriverTuner does not detect any new drivers require for upgrade/installation and it's up to date.
So I am considering switching to NVIDIA drivers that provides levels of exceptional performance that can be reached with it are in fact far and beyond the acceptable ranges when running the latest applications and games.
So according to my Dxdiag will my pc able to run high-end NVIDIA graphic cards or there's any other upgrades needed like ram or otherwise?
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're saying but there seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding or misuse of terms here.
Driver Versions have numbers like 12.345.000 and so on. A set card will run the appropriate drivers, which can be manually downloaded for free from their respective sites.
The only way to downgrade or upgrade your card is to physically swap them out. Their performance can be upgraded by updating the drivers, but this doesn't change the card.
You can't use drivers from another company, this will just break everything.
I suspect that you're using card names to refer to driver packages, but this is leading to confusion. The vast majority of the time the best thing to do is to download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's site for free. The only time this isn't the best choice is if a new driver package introduces issues, which does happen from time to time.
@keytiekeyt1019 Can you try closing Origin and restarting it as an admin. To do so, right-click and choose the Run as administrator option. Then try the install again and see if it goes through. It's worth checking your Firewall and Anti-virus exceptions lists too, in case Origin is being blocked in any way.
@Snoffa1 You can find a bit more info about a dxdiag here: http://help.ea.com/au/article/how-to-gather-dxdiag-information/
As stated, a dxdiag(short for DirectX Diagnostic) will report on your system specs, and can be useful when gathering info on an issue.
@XELE87
I've solved my problem yesterday, or at least I hope I did!
I called customer service and got a great help from EA Sweden. It was my graphics card not being updated which probably caused my problem. So now I updated it and I hope my game will work out all fine forwards. Thank you for your help anyway, the EA service told me about the dxdiag before i even remembered asking. 🙂
