So, yesterday the game was working alright. Everything worked.

But today, when I launched NMS, I got a message saying:


Unsupported graphics chipset detected.
Intel graphics cards are not currently supported.


But my GPU is an Nvidia card, so it shouldn't say that. Another thing I have also noticed is that I used to have an icon from Nvidia showing me the GPU usage in the taskbar. That is gone.

Could it be from the recent driver updates, or the recent Windows update? If it helps in any way, I have recently deleted my old Windows installation files (C:/Windows.old)

Sound like it's trying to run on your Processors' built in graphics.
Your GPU drivers doing okay?
First of all try just restarting...
If that doesn't work, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest Nvidia graphics drivers.

I highly recommend totally wiping the drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller that you can find here: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Download the latest drivers - http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Select the Recommended options (boot in safe mode / clean and restart)

Then install drivers and try again. I suggest to tick "Perform a clean installation" unless you have settings you don't want to redo. (stuff like custom settings for particular games, custom resolutions etc.)


You can also disable the processors internal graphics in BIOS, and/or select what adapter the computer should be primarily used for display. You should select PCI-Express, probably, I think the standard setting is to use the internal graphics (Intel)
(The options in BIOS varies from motherboard to motherboard)

Drivers doing great. I updated it 2 days ago. I did try that. 3 times. I'd like to know the risks of doing this.

Also, since I have the GeForce Experience app from nVidia, could I skip downloading the driver updater? (The .exe file that I would download from the nVidia website) I tried disabling my CPU's built-in graphics with device manager, and my resolution went to shit, so I'm not very keen on that. I even updated my CPU today with no results.

Updated CPU?
You physically swapped to another CPU? Motherboard as well? If so, you probably need to reinstall Windows for stuff to work properly...

The risks with DDU doing a clean uninstall of the Nvidia drivers are minimal, just some annoyances until you get the proper GPU driver installed again.

You get rid of any old files hanging about so that's why I recommended doing that in case an old file doesn't get overwritten when you update drivers normally.
Read on that page, see what it does. :-)

I have never touched the CPU with the Device manager but it kind of sounds like that's what happens when there are no display drivers.

Disabling the built in Intel graphics isn't really necessary, I only thought maybe it doesn't want to start with the GPU and if so that could help force it to. So no need to do that in case it gets worse or something

Also one thing is that Windows will want to automatically update the GPU drivers so turn that off if you have it on, at least until you get the Nvidia drivers installed.

You should download the entire package with drivers + Geforce Experience as Display Driver Uninstaller, if you use it, will wipe all of it. Do a manual search on the nvidia driver page, enter your OS and GPU etc, and download the
"GeForce Game Ready Driver - WHQL" Version 372.54 (current newest) that shows up under after you hit Start Search (unless you're on an older GPU or a laptop, then I don't know what the version number will say.

I updated the drivers, not the CPU. That would be "upgrading" if you ask me. Thanks for letting me know! Well, I do agree, but in order to run NMS, I have to disable it, then enable it again after I launch the game. I made sure my GPU drivers are up-to-date. Also, that is exactly the version of my GPU driver (GeForce 920m)

Ok. Weird. But you did say you got it working so that's cool

Anyway if you already have those drivers but can't see the Geforce Experience button, you could try just starting it manually. I have had to do that once or twice but once I do it, it stays there (unless there's something wrong, in which case I would reinstall the drivers)
