era10 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Well i recently upgraded my comoputer and the specs i have i should theoretically be able to play games on ultra settings however i am not able to play them without lag and it randlomly jumping/skipping frames. Even on non ultra settings i still get some skips which shouldnt happen. I also get this error when i try to launch Dragon Age from basic settings to optimizied settings. http://gyazo.com/327d354a0ef508124b413b3f59436330 Does anyone know what this means? or what is causing the error? I think it might be an issue with my graphics card but cant be sure. edit for specs http://gyazo.com/45fff0164c9ca1ac1b60a3ebe362251a Edited May 17, 2015 by era10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vag Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) Seems like your external GPU is not working. It is trying to use Intel Integrated GPU, HD Graphics. Make sure you have correct Drivers and GPU pins plugged on correctly. ALSO Look for the .ini file and check if NVIDIAGPU=true Edited May 17, 2015 by VAG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakum Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 What graphics card do you have. If your fps is low and your game freezes and skips around then that is your graphics card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwitchFast Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Monitor your temperatures, could well be an overheating CPU or GPU and that causes the clock speed to drop drastically (throttling) in order to reduce temperatures. Or it could well be the issue that your CPU is kinda old tbh, the single core performance won't be all that great, which is important for gaming because they are very commonly limited in terms of mulithreading compatibility.
