Adding my info in case it's helpful. I seem to have the same problem as others with dual graphics cards. I went through the steps to make sure the game is running off my NVIDIA card. The icon in the system tray shows that the game is indeed running on the NVIDIA card. I checked the drivers, and it shows I'm running the most up-to-date driver.
1. My pastebin is K2yNhuMR (it won't let me post links, weird, I have been a member of this community since Sims 2 days)
2) I bought the disc but used the code to download through Origin
3) Adopted
4) It won't let me, but it looks like everyone else's
5) Graphics driver version. GeoForce 340.52 Driver
