Wow, thanks a bunch guys. I have been running SimCity 4 in compatability mode with no improvement in performance. I have not tried re-installing it into the 64 bit folder set but will tonight. I have a feeling doing this will help. Thanks again for all of your feedback, I really appreciate it.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope this isn't already fixed somewhere and I am just shooting in the dark but I really need some help and the search didn't help much. Here is my issue. I just built a killer new system: Intel Q6600 PCU EVGA SLI Motherboard 2 EVGA GTX 260's in SLI 8 Gigabytes of G-Skill DDR3 ram 2 Barracuda HD in RAID 0 900 Watt PSU 1680x1050 LCD Monitor My old computer ran SimCity 4 with no performance issues until my cities got very large. I installed the game on my new system and right away ran into issues. SLOW performance even with no population. It is so slow that it is pretty much not playable. Things that I tried: reduced resolution, set all graphics settings to LOW. The only thing that helped was changing the rendering to Software from Hardware. This made the game playable but I built my new system to run games like this maxed out! The environment looks very choppy in the Software rendering mode and doesn't have the luster that it should on my system. I am running the game as adm and in comp. modes but this doesn't change anything. This has been one of my favorite games of all time but I can't really get into it because of the horrible performance. Please, someone help me! Thanks in advance for any replies and your time. Hope to hear from you soon. Tim
