I would like to know if the sims 3 would run on an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 graphics card as have just bought a new PC with it. The PC is an HP ENVY 700-060ea Desktop.

    You published the question in the forum for questions about AHQ's website itself, not the dedicated Sims 3 forum (to which the thread has now been moved):
