Blu's new gaming laptopI have two graphics cards in my laptop. I attached image links so you can click on them. Sorry it's night time in my game atm so some are dark. Also, I do have Vsync & Triple Buffering on in nVidia Control Panel (image below). I have absolutely no lag, freezing, or crashing what-so-ever. :wink: :mrgreen:

03. I have all stuff packs except KPST.
04. I currently have 25 Nraas Mods and quite a few from MTS, TFM's NSA, various other sites.

ETA:
So I went back in game and messed with some of the settings under Options as well as the NPC.
Looks like there are some things set in the NPC on the card.
This is still high except for Edge Smoothing. (Appears to be a setting on the card)
I changed tree & sim detail from very high to high, then bumped lot detail down to 6 from 8.

I was able to get up to 60 FPS but I still have Vsync & Triple Buffering on in NPC. I do have a screenshot of it at like 35 FPS
here.
However, now my print screen function is messed up giving me black screens from in the game. I had to take the new screenshot in window mode, I will have to fix that. And the game actually played smoother on the original settings. So I'm going to have to mess with it some more to try and get it back.
Here are some images from in game as the 'C' button still works. :wink:

Final Update: 07/09/2013Finally had time to come back and update after getting my graphics card recognized by the game. Anyway, I am where I want to be and the game is playing sweet. No lag, freezing, great FPS. I also threw in a few videos I'm testing the settings in the Options and Sims.ini file. Love the widescreen on video playback but it's not quite there yet.
