Hey, I keep getting a window popping up saying I can't run battlefield 1 because my videocard is not powerful enough.

System Specs:
I5-6300HQ @ 2.3GHz
16GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 960M

I don't know why I am getting this error but my computer just can't run my new game 🙁
 
Solution
Battlefield 1 only runs on the fairly recent Nvidia drivers, the 375 series on up I believe, so make sure you have the latest driver available for your GPU. It might also be picking up your integrated graphics on that laptop, so make sure to launch the game while in high performance power mode so your computer actually enables the GTX 960m.

Solution
The CPU doesn't even meet minimum recommended specs to run the game. The minimum recommended CPU is an i5-6600K (3.50 GHz base clock / 3.90 GHz turbo clock)

The GPU also doesn't even meet minimum recommended specs to run the game. The GeForce GTX 960M is weaker than the minimum recommended GeForce GTX 660.
