puzzlezaddict , Thanks for all your always valuable help. Now I’m curious. With G-sync, do you not even need V-sync? Thus abolishing the need to cap fps? I upgraded my old system to an RTX 3050 because that was the latest GPU that fit with my old system (according to a friend). And I did it myself ...

puzzlezaddict, Thanks for the input

I bought it, should be here Friday!

Cororon, Thanks! I understood 'some' of that.

RadicalChick, That is great to hear. Thanks for confirming what igazor suspected.

Thanks for all the information. I do have other uses for it besides TS3; my desktop now runs Sims 3 perfectly fine but not so much the other stuff.
