bought simcity a day ago havent had any problems playing wow, gta 4, minecraft
etc. then started playing this with Med. settings right away and got 20 fps with 1 sec freezes every 10-8 sec or so. lowered graphics to all low and got only 30 fps. i have all drivers up to date. starting to think bad video card.

P.S. vsync and frame cap were not on

the new simcity won't even push your gpu to the max, and considering you played other games just fine, i don't think it's your gpu. Have you try running furmark or other gpu benchmark tools to test if there's any artifact?
