First off, let me start by saying welcome to EA’s “Answer HQ”.
Answer HQ isn't just an ordinary message board or support center. It's a new approach to our community experience and a fun way of helping other players or to get answers (from players & experts)and get back in the game!

1) Your graphics card is slightly under minimum system requirements

2) I can see, you have the lattest (GEFORCE 341.81) graphics card driver. So, this is OK.

3) Find your game's instalation folder and manualy reinstall DirectX from there.

On my computer this is the path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Need for Speed(TM) Rivals\__Installer\directx\redist\

4) Try to set your graphic card's settings to "performance"... (Switch off anti aliasing etc.)

5) Some players even try to edit settings file & add shorcuts options...
