You must have vsync enabled with a 960 or your fps will run too high and heat up your video card
You have to be in full screen for it to work
add the sims 3 game to your Nvidia control panel. Under 3d settings/program setings click browse to find the TS3.exe file
in your Nvidia control panel under 3d settings click add then browse. Then you will be clicking on a bunch of files to get to the TS3.exe file which runs the game. computer C, to program files X 86 file, to origin games file, to the sims 3 file, to the game file, to the bin file. In the bin file you will find the TS3,exe file. Add that to control panel and put vsync on adaptive. This game must have vsync on or it will run your fps way to high. Also remind yourself every time you have an nvidia card update make sure it does not reset your vsync before playing. Nvidia card updates will also reset your game launcher settings every time.
With the 960 card you can play the game on ultra, however due to a patch keeping lot details on high will cause more game stutter.Keep lot details on low ( 3 or under)
I have a 960 and have never changed my sgr files. I only add the game to nvidia control panel, make sure vsync is working. Notices of your card not being recognized should go away after adding the game to nvidia control panel.
If your still having problems after doing above I can page someone to help you with changing the sgr files. Its hit or miss if this will help your game
This is just an example. Is for the sims 4 but you add the sims 3 to Nvidia control panel in the same way
