The game starts ok, no problem there but the game is not running so smoothly...i have a 1920*1080 monitor so i tried running the game with 1366*768 resolution coz i have a weak gpu with everything in low settings but still its not running smoothly..why..?

MY system spec-

Intel i3 2nd gen 2120 processor
Intel dh61ww mobo
Zotac nvidia gt 610 2gb ddr3 gpu
kingston 4gb ddr3 ram
Windows 7 32 bit
1tb harddisk
Windows 7 32 bit service pack 1

i saw the game requires windows 7 64bit at game-debate..
so is the windows 7 32 bit is the main problem...??

Would appreciate your help guys...
Thnx...

Doubt its the 32bit Windows, the minimum requirements list Windows XP as an acceptable OS and the min RAM is 4GB, no reason for them to demand a 64bit OS.

To be honest, I really would just pin this to your graphics card. Its not that powerful, its a rebranded GT520, which is a low end card from two generations ago now. Also the GT prefix indicates HTPC usage, gaming grade cards are pre-fixed with GTX.

Also, NFS: Rivals isnt that good a PC port. The game out of the box is capped to 30FPS, indicative of a poor console port, and if you unlock that to 60FPS, the game actually speeds up due to the higher FPS. Pretty poor coding on that, that was a problem that was solved back in the first days of computer gaming.

Basically you have weak...

Basically you have weak hardware and a game that is not a good PC port, which is why I think your having problems running it acceptably. Most I can say is upgrade your graphics card, something like a HD7750 or R7 260X would be a decent bet.

this game uses dx11 for best performance 32bit windows 7 only gos up dx10 i think i have a amd r9 270 and have to overclock it to get high end graphics but i would not recommend that unless you know what you are doing my gpu kicks out at 1050Mhz so i think its win7 32 bit and your gpu may be the problem windows 7 64 bit is the way to go

The video card is weak. But if it needs 4 GB of ram you are out of luck. You can install 8 GB and it will not help. Windows 32 bit cannot address more than 3.1- 3.5 GB of ram and will never use the extra ram. 64 Bit Windows can.
