With GTX970, SimCity has some issue with displaying buildings

Hello,

Hope all is well with you,

I bought SimCity 2013 during this holiday sale.

I'm using GTX970 but it looks like GTX970 has some issue with displaying buildings in SimCity 2013.

The problem is.. white border lines keep flickering around all over the buildings in SimCity 2013.

Below is not my youtube video, but it's exactly the same with my problem.

Could you help me to play SimCity 2013 ?

* I'm using the latest nVidia display driver 347.09  

* My friends who have GTX970 also have experienced this problem.

    I have this exact same problem with my GTX 750Ti, and it is solved by actually turning lighting to min. Of course then the game looks like absolute trash, and I haven't found a fix yet that lets me turn the settings off min and not experience flickering whtie borders.

    AFAIK, nVIDIA has had terrific difficulties getting good drivers out for your GPU.  Check with their support.

    Hi, buddy.

    Thank you four your quick post :D

    Yes, as you said once I turn "lightning" option to "minimun" then everything is okay, but the game screen looks too old fashined so I couldn't bear it.

    I hope EA gives us some solution for this 😕mileyembarrassed:

    I just bought the game today, I have the same graphics card 970GTX and also having the same issue with the white flickering  the buildings are also acting funny and have glitched artifacting boarders.

    The graphics really seem so different from what I have seen on YouTube videos

    I am quite dissapointed since I liked the graphics first thats what drew me into the game

    I am also using the same drivers 347.09 I may try rolling back since another guy had issues and posted it

    here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/781982/nvidia-geforce-gtx-900-series-feedback-gathering-low-gpu-load-and-other-issues-/?offset=914

    Update: Sad to say its still buggy even after rolling back to an older driver it looks like they need to fix it on both ends (Maxis & Nvidia) I just hope development of this game is not dead yet due to poor reception this will realy make me consider their future products if its not fixed.

    Cheers!

    Hi, thecraponahat

    Thank you for your post.

    I also tried some old versions but unfortunately no luck, so as you said I also think EA or NVIDIA both need to look into it.

    It would be good if EA recognizes this issue and gives us any solutuon.

    Regards,
