    @silverwood02  It won't damage the card to run TS3 just long enough to check the settings.  It would be a problem if you kept playing for a while, but it sounds like you're being careful.

    If you can't get Inspector to cooperate either, you can try RivaTuner Statistics Server, also a free download.  Unlike the other tools, it does need to be running in the background to cap fps.  But it works great for me.  And, as with the other apps, you need to use "TS3.exe" to set up a profile for the game.

Ok thanks again. Using the right sims exe in Nvidia made no diference, the frame rate is still over 60, but maxing all the settings it goes down to 140 - 180, still too high for long periods. I will try the inspector program, just one thing, I assume it wont damage the card?

    Just wanted to say thanks, I have installed the program and the frame rate is 59-60 now. So much better, really appreciate the help.

    Cheers.
