Considering I got that card when buying my pc,I'm extremely happy.I don't need to buy one now
My graphics look like this:

would have been extremely happy too with those graphics :shock:
:hunf: An ATi 4870x2 being bested by an integrated Nvidia 6150? You must be doing something wrong. :XD:
the most demanding graphic wise , is sims, the other ones i play have silly graphics an onboard card could handle flawlessly.But we are talking about sims here and ea is a huge supporter of Nvidia making their games more compatible with nvidia drivers. Remember blocky shadows with ATIs with base game? Or paper thin walls after LN release?
I think nvidea cards have sharper graphics because mine look kinda blurry. However i haven't seen newer ATIs screenies.
These are my graphics atm
I was just asking since I always thought all the Sims games looked cartoonish to me (BTW is the reason I like them and Spore.). I think alot depends on your monitor as well. Almost all my stuff looks sharp. I play with the settings until I get the clearest picture. Thanks for your reply.

I have all my settings on high... Maybe i need to mess with CCC more ... but to tell you the thruth i have no idea what to mess with...:S
I had the ATI HD 5770, had too many problems with shadows in my game. Found lots of threads here and on other forums on what I can do to remedy the blocky shadows, but it never hold.
Broke down and went back to Nvidia, GeForce GTX 460, now I am all types of happy with my game display. Now I must learn how to overclock it, don't quite understand how to do it.
Nothing to see. I don't even care about the forums.

if it had to do with the monitor , pics from other people would still look blurry to me. However I notice a big diff between my pics and other people pics on the same monitor
Hey!! I think that's what I have!! What computer do you have?
Dell Inspiron I don't know if that graphics card is any good, I would really like to find someone to change out my card for me, but I don't know anyone who does it.

Impossible to diagnose if anything from posted pics, but try messing with the anistropic filtering to sharpen the distant views. Anti aliasing will smooth any blockiness up close. Or try for best quality with general settings.

I feel lucky then. I haven't had any problems (Well other than Windows 7 corrupting some files when doing a graphics card update.). Nvidia has been the cards I had the most trouble with. Mostly not hooking up well with my other games.

Mine can't really be changed because it's an on-board chip so I'm stuck with it!
I used to have a Dell Inspiron a while back, an older model, but now I have a Toshiba Satellite, not the fanciest but the price is right!

Hmmm... well in my eys there is blurriness and a lot of it, and as you said it gets worse at distand views. Also as you said again there is blockiness up close , especially on clothing edges where clothes meet the skin. Sim detail is maxed in game so i guess i'll play with antostrophic filtering and antialiasing and see what results i get. Thank you very much for that info

Oh, well then I probably would not be able to change mine, either. Boo. I just picked this one up for the store, my fiance was buying me one for my birthday, and I figured this one would work. I try not to play the sims too much on it, I don't want to kill it, and I keep the graphics as low as I can without it looking terrible. I only turn the graphics up if I am doing a modeling comp, or something else where I want my pictures to look really good. :-)
At the risk of sounding really stupid, could someone explain to this really tech-ignorant simmer why I have two graphic cards listed when I look them up? Also are they considered "good"? I'm just curious, even though I have had no problems with my graphics while playing so far.

Probably because along with a graphics card, your Motherboard comes with an intergrated graphics chipset. But still this is a guess. The Nvidia one looks as it's a good one , but don't take my word for it since i'm not familiar with Nvidia cards

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I maxed all settings in CCC, except AAA which i have disabled due to incompatibility with Sims (renders the trees wrong) and I noticed huge difference! pics still look a bit blurry but way better than before, and i think photobucket is also kiling the quality, but ingame the graphics are sweet, if you exclude the blocky ATI shadows (EAs fault not ATIs)
and it looks way better in game
:-o Glad it worked for you. The pictures do look good.
As to the previous posters question. Intel (graphics integrated into the newer CPU's) / Nvidia (and Ati) dual graphics are somewhat new, so as to offer balance between power and battery use for laptops.
For Sims, I always like check to see if graphics cards are supported Min spec for the game listed on this site (which I think are outdated). But I also like to check the chart listed on MTS, which I think is better because they have it color coded. If your card has the green font listed or background all the way across on the chart, you should be good to go.
Items marked in green are those which are also recommended by MTS for playing The Sims 3.
I use Nvidia GT 450 1 GB on my main computer and a ATI 4670 1 GB(I think, it is not on) in my secondary computer and a ATI 4250 in my laptop. I have Nvidia 240 1 GB, Nvidia 8500 GT 1 GB(2 of them), Nvidia 7600GS 512. I love both Radeon(ATI has been put to rest)and Nvidia. Both have excellent cards if you can overlook the myths of each company.

My husband has the same card you do.
Bet he's happy with it. Best card out for the money you'll spend on it.

LOL Yeah messing with CCC is a chore but when you hit on the right combo your set. I just mess with it until I'm happy.

DO NOT - PM me tech ?s/issues. ▬ DO create a thread in it's respective Technical Forum. Vacation goes by way too fast!

But the Graphics are awesome for this little card.
