Radeon Mobility 9000 and The Sims 2

[Keitaro]

Hi,

I have a GRV616S and lately I have been experiencing some problems with the video game "The Sims 2". More precisely, special event scenes do not display correctly : the images freeze or flash and I can only listen to the associated sound. The graphic card drivers are up to date though.

Can anyone tell me about a way to solve this problem ?

Thanks !

I think the game is too RAM intensive for your model.

It probably is too RAM-intensive for your computer, however it should still run without corruption. Go to the Sims 2 website forum where you will get more specific support from other players, we are more about the computers themselves than the games you would run on them.

I tend to agree with Kee-Lo,

I think your pushing it to run on your machine!

The difference between for e.g. the 9000 and 9200 is quite a lot. The 9000 is really a Direct X 7.x based card and i think the Sims 2 needs at least a Driect X 8.x based card!

Sorry

It needs DirectX 9.0c (The latest version). If you have that already then try the forum on www.thesims2.com, as your graphics card is on the supported list.

Yeah it needs DX9 thats for sure.
