Geforce 760 GTX Not Recognized

Then there was that guy Paul in here who also posted a few days back who has almost my same ASUS laptop only he has 8.1, he had the 3d screen and I don't. He also has the 780 card and IP was giving him problems though I think he was actually playing it. His fps was working. The only thing with your issue I do not understand is why vsync wont work in game for you but works in CAS. That is just strange

Zack one more thing have you tried cleaning out your Cashe Files to see if it might kick in your vsync in game.

deleting these files under ea folder in documents

CASPartCashe.package

scriptCashe.package

socialCashe.packag

compositorCashe.package

simCompositorCashe.package

I delete those files every time I start a new game or even enter the game and exit. Every time you start the game it will add new files.

i deleted them the other day they seem to make the FPS drop when loading things worse. The Vsync keeps the framerate under 60 though. I have Adaptive Vsync so maybe thats why it's being weird.

Deleting those files actually helps clean the game so It should not make it worse. I clean mine all the time. My fps stays at 60 both in game and CAS. I have not added IP though and I don't think Im going to.

Mine is set on adaptive and stays at 60 but maybe try another setting and see if that helps??? I just don't know why your  vsync is not working in game

Maybe you have a corrupt game?? Have you checked in your save files game to see if there is any saved game that has bad on it. If you do delete it

Yeah, i have looked for .bad files and didn't see any. Plus i started a whole new save multiple times trying to fix this.

I had an open case with EA, I did report back to them your issue with the fps not working, how bad the game shakes on edge scrolling for both of us. How Cas works better for us than the game LOL Did let them know this problem has been reported since 2009. I doubt we are going to get a fix unless they know some miracle cure. Ill let you know how they respond.

I tired a clean reinstall with just up to Uni with my old save that i first used when i tramferred to this computer. No improvement.

I got to a higher up at EA. Sent them what they needed. I probably won't hear back from them until monday. Will keep you posted.

Update they got back to me and want me to start playing the game and report back. Im going to downoad Island Paradise and see if my game gets worse. I can always remove it. Ill keep you posted

Zack, one more thing have you tried switching mouses? Is your mouse set at 64 bit?I know this game does not like my gaming mouse update to 64 bit from my old computer. On this computer I just have my gaming mouse at 32 bit. I switched out several mice no diffrerence. get the same responce with the arrow keys as I do any mouse I use. I just wonder if your getting more lag than I am by having a 64 bit mouse???

I tired switching my mouse out. I got a new 2012 razor imperator and switched it with my old mouse and i didnt see any change. But i am not sure how to tell if my mouse it 64 bit. I always use the center mouse button to rotate the camera, but I will try with the UI and see if it doesn't lag as much.

How to tell if your mouse is 64 bit, possibly device manager?.I dont have my gaming mouse on this computer at the moment.  How I figured out my mouse was only 32, I went to the logitec web and downloaded the 64 bit but 64 bit download conflicts with the TS3W file. Since you have a gaming mouse you may find driver updates on the razor web for your mouse. And your on windows 7. Im on windows 8 and cant find anything LOL LOL LOL!

I found the folder for my razor driver in Program FIles (x86) which I guess means the driver is 32 bit. and there is only one option for the driver download.

Ok I would not worry about it then and a update to 64 bit mouse might conflict with your game worse so just leave that mouse where it is. I need to try and find a mouse with a 3.0 USB since my computers USB ports are all 3.0. It wont make a diffrence but Im getting pnp errors because of my mouse being 2.0

Zack, do you know how to change the Nvidia card from intergraded to dedicated? It seems my card switched during a video card update. I read my manual but the instructions do not match up with the Nvidia control panel I have installed. Thanks! I looked at your DxDiag and your card reads intergraded too. Is yours supposed to be dedicated or intergraded?

It should be dedicated It's not like a chipset. At least i dont think.

well, your DXDiag, That guy Paul who's thread you were also posting in has intergraded and so does mine. My Nvidia conrtol panel states I have Dedicated video memory 3072mb (3gb) GDDR5, then it states system video memory 0. Shared System memory 7894mb. (8gb) but my system has 16 gb ram????? WT????

It should read 0. 0 is saying that your graphics card has it's own dedicated memory for use and therefore will not allocate system video memory.

if it is supposed to read 0 than why are our DxDiag's reading intergraded. This is part of your dxdiag on page 2 and mine reads the same way. I spoke to Nvidia and they told me our DxDiag should not read intergraded and ASUS is givingme excuses because I spoke to them again.

Display Devices
---------------
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce GTX 760
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC

Opps wait a minuite I think the intergraded issue is Nvidia and our screen? Maybe I need to learn to read DxDiag better!!!!!???? LOL

So it's not our cards? Are we supposed to have shared memory? I am so confused...

I don't know! LOL Im guessing right now that what Im reading is the screen and our card maybe intergraded? We need roberta591 to read this DxDiag! roberta591 if your on please read the intergraded issue on page 2 where the DxDiag is and tell us if this intergraded issue has to do with our screens and no our cards that are supposed to be dedicated. TY!

Zack intergraded does say display device so Im going to go with it means screen at the moment.

If I recall correctly the issues with sims sort of coincided when i updated the drivers right after i got my computer. Rolling them back didn't work so maybe this is the cause. 

I think it's just the game. It's really hot here so Im not in the mood to play but I will later actually start a game and let you know how it plays. I will put Island Paradise in the game but will not play IP and see if my screen lag gets worse than it already is just having that ep in my computer

I Havent even put in IP yet just added dragon valley and roaring heights. The screen is so shaky LOL. I can only predict what will happen with IP. Going to download now!!
