Dragon Age: Origins "Failed to detect a supported video card"

[Grizz0212]

I looked at an older thread and attempted the fixes there to no avail. I built a new PC and now cannot play Origins. I used to play on a 970 now I'm using a 3060. The same monitor as then, upgraded the CPU and mobo as well.

Looks like your Monitor is plugged into the Intel APU port at the Motherboard.
You need to plug your Monitor into your RTX 3060.

HI @Grizz0212 Are you playing through the EA App or Steam?

Also when you have a moment can you try the following?

• Run the System File Checker tool then Check for Windows and GPU updates  
• Troubleshooting Graphics issues 
• Try the Game in different Compatibility settings
• Check for other applications that may be limiting EA App or Game performance

Thanks!

Should the steps in @EA_Illium post not work please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that  with the "Choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.

None of the solutions seemed to work sadly.

That seemed to fix it on Origins. It should also be noted, I was able to fix it on GOG by enabling legacy files. I found a YouTube video that helped. I did however have to run the programs as administrator on both for some reason. But hey, if it works it works. Thanks again folks. https://youtu.be/y1c5opN5uG0
