L.A. Noire crashing at launch using integrated GeForce 8600 GT graphics card

Last Updated: April 21, 2024

Question: I have an integrated Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT and when I click Launch Game nothing happens. Is my card compatible?

Answer: Integrated Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT graphics cards are under specification for L.A. Noire on PC.  To check whether this applies to you:

Export a DXDiag report: 

1. Go to Start > Run and type 'dxdiag' (without quotes please) in the 'Open' field and press OK button 

2. Wait for 'green' progress bar to finish loading and then press the 'Save All Information...'’ button 

3. Name the file with some useful info, like your name and the date, and save it where you can find it, like the Desktop, by pressing the 'Save' button 

4. Press the 'Exit' button to quit this application

If you see the following in the Display Devices section, your card does not have enough dedicated video memory to run L.A. Noire:
