There seems to be alot of talk about video cards overheating and causing game glitches. And, although I may be wrong in my numbers here, most of those cards with heat issues seem to be from the ATI family. Am I wrong in assuming this? I am concerned because my computer has a 1950X. And if this thing starts heating up and causing RAM issues, it's getting replaced. Fast. I really prefer the nVidia series, and if the ATI cards are heating up, I'll switch. In a heartbeat. Before I purchased this computer I had heard talk about some of the ATI cards having temperature issues. I was reluctant to put an ATI card in the new set up but they gave me a really good price on it and I bit. Is it now gonna bite me in the ass when I play The Sims 3?
I'm playing with the same card, 512MB, with an intel 920d cpu and 3gb ram. My graphics are set to the highest and they look good. No problems so far. I did update my drivers a few days ago to a 2/25/09 version and I got the driver update from the ATI website. No problems with overheating altho my case has 4 fans.

Or were you directed to another website? The last time I was on the ATI website I could not find anything for this card. That is what made me believe this one is not going to be supported any longer. And I did update with that set of drivers from 2/25/09 in March.

Today when I opened the game this message appeared: :-\
"You are playing a non-final, unauthorized copy of The Sims 3. Purchasing and registering an official copy of The Sims 3 will entitle you to benefits including access to an entirely new game town called Riverview, 1000 SimPoints which can be redeemed for game objects in The Sims 3 Store, and access to The Sims 3 Exchange."
Is it true that it is not the final version?

Try turning off internet before starting the game. Do you get the same result?
