 I jusst got Dragon Age ORigins today and it is saying Failed to Detect a supported video card. What do I do?

[Moondoggie]

Buy a decent GPU

Have you ever updated your videocard drivers?



Is your video card separate or does the motherboard of your computer have an on board video chipset?



If thats the case, you might just have to update your motherboard drivers.

Well I just got this computer two days ago.



It's a Eee PC or something like that.... family member bought it for me

[Moondoggie]

So a notebook then? I don't know if you;ll be able to game on that many do not have the required graphics power to handle modern games.

My computer is about two days old.
And it says it is already updated.
My computer has an onboard one.
And its a Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family
If that makes sense.

Sorry, I can usually do anything with a computer, but video cards.

The micro-laptops known as "Netbooks" aren't close to powerful enough for games of this one's nature. You have to match the game to the hardware, and Netbooks are roughly where full power PCs were seven to ten years ago, so you can play games in the 6-10 year old range (older ones wouldn't run in modern OSes, and the earlier ones probably will have trouble doing so).

Here are the minimum requirements for XP and Vista and the recommended system requirements.

Windows XP Minimum Specifications
OS: Windows XP with SP3
CPU: Intel Core 2 Single (or equivalent) running at 1.6Ghz or greater
AMD 64 (or equivalent) running at 2.0Ghz or greater
RAM: 1 GB or more
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space
Video: ATI Radeon X850 256MB or greater (this is clearly wrong)
NVIDIA GeForce "6600 GT" 128MB or greater (and this one is more wrong)

(Note: IMO, the practical choices for the two video cards above should be the Radeon X800 Pro, and the Geforce 6800 GS, at least, for small textures - it will take a Radeon X1650 XT (or X1800 GTO, same thing, almost) for medium or better textures)

INTEL'S GARBAGE (Graphics Chip) IS NOT SUPPORTED, so almost all of the eee Netbooks miss the boat on that score, plus, they use a very slow Atom CPU.

There is your problem. That graphic chip is below system requirements.

Well then I have a question. My GPU is an ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series, much better than any of the X Series. And when I try to start up my DA:O, It gets to the splash Image and then says please update your Nvidia physx driver. I DO NOT HAVE NVIDIA. I have an ATI Radeon HD (which is better).

The Archives are your friends.  Search 'em.  It's already well-covered, an adequate number of times so that all you have done here is post the equivalent of SPAM. 

[SpartanQ96]

Thank you for your response.

[SpartanQ96]

Okay this will certainly sound stupid to all. But.... How exactly do I find the archives, or more importantly, where do I find that specific post that covers this?

[inclemency]

Here is a thread that's fairly uptodate. It doesn't cover the 580 or 6800/6900 radeons, but those are a given.

Just type "physx" in the search field at the top of the screen.  It will pull up plenty of hits you can browse through.

To address your question directly, I believe DA uses the CPU for Physx if you have either an Nvidia or an ATI card.  I believe the physx driver is suppose to install with the game.  Again, use the search function above.  With a game as popular as DA, someone is bound to have come across your problem before.

Good luck!

[SpartanQ96]

My question is, how do I change the settings from looking for nvidia physx, and start looking at my ATI. without getting into the game please.

[RaenImrahl]

I think you're mistaking the concept, which is understandable. Don't think of it as "Nvidia PhysX". It's just "PhysX"



Dragon Age requires PhysX regardless of your brand of graphics card. Dragon Age runs it off the main CPU of your computer. The PhysX software should have been placed on your computer when you installed Dragon Age.



Let's take this from another angle: What version of Dragon Age do you have? Is it the regular edition, the collector's edition, the Ultimate Edition, or what? And did you get it on disc, or did you download it from an online site like Steam?
