    Hey Guys,

    Installed Crysis 3 and whenever i hit play, a window pops up saying "Your GPU is not Direct X 11 compatible"

    Do i need to replace to the GPU or is there a workaround so that i can play the game on GTX 260M.

    Thanks for all your help guys!

    As far as I'm aware the 260m is only capable of DirectX 10.

    Unfortunately, Crysis 3 is a true DX11 title, so there's no way to play with an older card.

    That's true, you need a better card to run it. If you plan on buying one in the future send us an e-mail to [email protected] and we'll take care of your request.
