Pixelation in Sims 3
Hello I have an original copy of the Sims 3 game. Played it only a couple of times on my old computer ages ago and I remember it working OK. Now I'm trying to play on my newer PC and everything is...

Do you have advanced rendering turned on ? It's a ingame graphic option.
That setting was turned off. I turned it on and restarted the game but no change.
I looked into that graphic chip you have there a bit and I think, it's just not good enough for the game. Maybe you had b better card on your old computer ?
Is this a laptop you're playing with ?
I don't know a whole lot about graphic cards though but maybe someone else has a thought on this.
Thats a shame; my friend built the computer for me (it's a desktop PC) and added the card because he said it was especially good for gaming. (He knew that my partner would be on this pc gaming quite a bit. Which he has been and so far he has not experienced any graphical issues with his games - which generally seem far faster, smooth and realistic than Sims; so Id've expected them to give the graphics card more of a challenge.) The last computer I had was a very old iBook Mac laptop. Could that potentially be part of the issue - that I used to play the game on Mac then converted to use on the PC? I really appreciate all your help and suggestions so far.
OK. I only found an article where it said that was a chip. Also according to your DxDiag it does not have a whole lot of dedicated memory.
Do you maybe have a dual system in your computer ? I really don't wanna tell you something that's not true and as I said I don't know much about graphic cards.
Maybe have your friend take a look ?Did you move over your user files from the mac ? Have you tried a completely new game ?
