  1. Is this Nvidia newsletter a 'scam'?

    Ok, I found the setting... and mine is Intel graphics 2500. This is bad news, isn't it? :/
  2. Is this Nvidia newsletter a 'scam'?

    Thanks for the replies. It wasn't so much that I thought the site was a scam, it's that I was suspecting that Nvidia was using the new release of Sim City to mislead consumers into believing they had to have their graphics card in order to run the game. I'm not entirely sure which version of the Intel graphics I have- it doesn't specify anywhere in my system information. But this is the system I have: HP Pavilion p7-1420t Desktop PC Operating system - Windows 8 64 Processor - 3rd Generation Intel® Core i5-3330 quad-core processor [3.0GHz, 6MB Shared Cache] Memory - 6GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [2 DIMMs] Hard drive - 1TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive Graphics card - Integrated Intel® HD Graphics [DVI-I & DVI-D, DX 10.1] Optical drive - SuperMulti DVD Burner
  3. A family member sent me this link from an Nvidia newsletter today, with a system check to see if your computer will run the new Sim City. When I ran the test it failed and recommended several GE Graphics cards to me. At first I thought the newsletter link was from the actual game developer, but when I realized it was Nvidia I got suspicious. I'm wondering if they are simply checking to see if you HAVE one of their video cards and if not, implying that the GE cards are required to play the game. I have integrated graphics, but I just got this computer in December and it runs everything perfectly. I find it hard to believe Sim City will ONLY run with dedicated graphics. Anyone know if this is true? Here is the link that was sent to me: http://www.geforce.com/games-applications/pc-games/simcity/gpu-analyzer
