How well with The Sims 3 look on various computers? BlackGarden over at The Sim Shack posted various pictures of The Sims 3 running at different settings - from low, medium and to high.* Her analysis is based on the recent pics from the Taiwan fanday event (from My Sims World). Here is her breakdown: First off, the low quality. Textures are fuzzy, shadows are not well defined. From what I can make out of the text, however, they seem to remark that the gameplay is still quite smooth, and that one can follow their Sims as they ride a bike or drive their car without the game lagging. http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3632/3526453403_99f318782d_m.jpg[/IM http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3310/3526453183_aab34efb4a_m.jpg[/IM This one is medium quality. I think the graphics card in this may have been an 8500GT, though I may have just misinterpreted the text. You can see the textures are decent quality here, and the water details are not lost. http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3604/3524499179_9ae4fde52d_m.jpg[/IM http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3349/3524499233_f718c4aa43_m.jpg[/IM http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3606/3525305322_ed5e492f8b_m.jpg[/IM http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3611/3525305348_203e7dac27_m.jpg[/IM Finally, these shots are taken on a high quality computer. This beast probably had an NVidia 8800GT (judging from the article it was one of these: Ati X1900 / Ati HD3850 / Ati HD4870×2 / nVidia 8800GTX / nVidia 8600GT) and a fast dual core or a quad core processor, and at least 2GB of RAM. http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3416/3524499127_5f761d0f82_m.jpg[/IM http://www.flickr.com/photos/simpro...ickr.com/3411/3525304890_f87c80bf59_m.jpg[/IM She goes on with more in-depth information, so I’d suggest you swing by The Sim Shack to finish reading!
