Re: SimCity Societies Unable to find valid device
Welcome to tsf. The 5 series probably doesn't support the newer technologies such as shader model 3 and directx 9 that the game needs, the 5 series is actually more like 4 years old. While it does just meet the minimum amount of ram it probably doesn't support the rest of the accelerations.

Re: SimCity Societies Unable to find valid device
Probably a good 8600 , this one pretty good
