Hello guys!
I'm writing this in a state of utter despair. I just got my Watch_Dogs 2 and my desktop has 4 GB VRAM installed, that's Nvidia GT 610 (pretty old). I just checked on "DXDIAG" and it also says that total graphics are 4019 MB, close to 4 Gigs, no problem, but both GTA 5 and Watch_Dogs...

Howdy guys,
I've spent the last few days scouring the internet to resolve an issue affecting my laptop. The issue came about while trying to play Shadows of Mordor, it announced that "your device isn't DX11 compatible".
So after checking the specs of the 640m, I noted that it does infact...
I've been having this problem for a while now, and I stopped using my Windows desktop and started using my Chromebook instead. I just got back into using my desktop again, and I restarted it factory fresh.
