    BeamNG.drive wants me to use a dedicated graphics card, and it wants me to do something with NIVIDIA. It only works on windows 8, I heard, and I have Windows10. I downloaded it correctlt from the NIVIDIA website and when I started it, it said "No compatible NIVIDIA processor thing found" How do I fix this?

    What only happens on windows 8? You are being very vague here.

    NVidia is a graphics card manufacturer. You either have an NVidia graphics card equipped or you do not

    I entered the service code, there was a tab for drivers, but NIVIDIA wasn't there.

    That the only one in there?

    Simple. You dont have an NVidia graphics card, therefore installing NVidia graphics drivers is going to do nothing as you dont have the card.

    It means you cant do anything about it.

    From what your vague posting suggests you are trying to install the nvidia graphics drivers. You dont have an nvidia graphics card so cant do that. Simple. You can't do it.



    BeamNG does want you to use a dedicated graphics card, but you dont have one. That can only be changed by getting a new computer, or putting up with your machine just not being that powerful.
