PES 2012 results in a Nvidia error on Dell N5110 regarding System Requirements?

Solution 1:

The only way is to upgrade the driver. I did it and it solved the problem. I installed my GeForce GT525M graphics card with my old driver, then I downloaded this one: it's for Dell 5110 graphics, that is: NVIDIA GeForce GT525M.

Then you must upgrade your driver from device manager. Maybe you want to install it from its exe file but it will not work. After extracting this driver, upgrade the NVIDIA driver from Device Manager in Control Panel and address the folder you extracted files there.

Right click on the Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 file and select Run with graphic processor: high performance.

Solution 2:

Your notebook has both the Intel HD graphics adapter, and the nVidia graphics adapter, and it switches between them based on need. This is called nVidia's Optimus, and the intention is to switch out to integrated graphics (ie: the Intel HD) on non-3d loads to save battery.

I think Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 is detecting the Intel card (and the 128MB of related graphics RAM) because it hasn't yet kicked into a mode that forces the nVidia card to take over.

The nVidia Control Panel should allow you to set which graphics controller is used with which program (forcing it):

Alternatively if you (can) turn of Optimus in the BIOS, then it should always use the nVidia controller (and may eat your battery way quicker) and the 1GB of VRAM should be detected.

Siva Charan The processor with corei5,4GB RAM and 1GB dedicated graphics can do wonders on games.The powerful gaming machines like alienware and meant only to improve performance and provide with advanced game control options.

Other than this I think there is no game today that can't run smoothly on the above said config

Solution 4:

First, you need to upgrade your Nvidia graphics card driver to version 2.70 or higher.

I had this problem, and my driver version was 2.68. When I upgraded to 2.70, it solved this problem.

Solution 5:

It's happening to me too, and I have the same Dell notebook. The problem is with the inside Intel video card – it must be 128 MB but in the Dell Inspiron it's just 64 MB so you have to get some professional support.

Be sure the problem is not with your nVidia video card because it's working excellently with bigger games like Need For Speed.
