in any case I still think EA should look into this problem.

EA cannot come into your house and fix your computer spec issues. I am glad you found a card that works- took me a while to be able to play Pets until ATI updated the drivers for my card.

MinDtriKz from your post, your pretty much saying anything stronger then the GTX 640 isn't compatible with the game or high end. pam4402003's previous card was much stronger than the GT 640. Just look at the link below:

http://www.hwcompare.com/12878/geforce-gt-640-ddr3-vs-geforce-gtx-295/

and the white line they are talking about shows up only when edge smoothing (or anti-aliasing is turned on in the graphics control panel) is on. It is literally a line, not a halo or anything else. If your graphics card didn't show fluff, this line would be where the blocky fur would stop. It also isn't that noticeable unless you zoom in really close.(at least for me its not) My graphic card (GTX 560) default sims 3 setting has edge smoothing turned off, but for stronger cards than mine it is defaulted to on.

For me though it isn't that bothersome and I'm sure not going to get a weaker graphics card just for TS3. Since TS3 isn't the only pc game I play, if anything I'll get a stronger one.

You need to take a look at this:
Supported Graphics Card List
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/400739.page

Have a great day.

Already did, guess what, both cards are on the supported list.

The GTX 295 is in black for EA supported.
The GTX 560 is in RED for

Cards that definitely support ALL of the Sims 3 (Base Game + EPs + SPs)

You didn't read it before telling someone their card was unsupported it looks like or before referring me to it. It's either you haven't looked or you've decided I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't seen any reason for you to show me this list unless you wanted to prove me wrong. :?

Cards that people have reported seeing this white line:

ATI Radeon HD 5770: on the supported list in blue
GTX 460: on the supported list in red
Radeon HD 5670: on the supported list in red
Radeon HD 4600 series - didn't say exact card so I can't check
GeForce 9800 GT: on the supported list in red
Ati Radeon HD 4870: on the supported list in black
GeForce 9600: on the supported list in black
GeForce 8600: on the supported list in black (user didn't post about it, but I noticed it in the screenshots they have posted)
GTX 570: on the supported list in red
GTX550-Ti: on the supported list in blue
Radeon HD 3650: on the supported list in black
ati radeon HD 4850: on the supported list in black
GeForce GT 540M: on the supported list in blue

I'm sure more people have it, but either have edge smoothing turned off or just don't notice. As I said, I don't see it unless I zoom in really close. :wink:

This is the white line the op is talking about. Almost un-noticeable for me, but it is there. (red arrows point to the line, click on image to get see the full size picture)

Here I zoomed out and you can't even tell its there. At least I can't.

I'm going to keep editing this post as I discover more cards with this issue. (So far I'm getting this information from this thread: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/900/451611.page)
