im using a Ti4800 and still find when there's a lot on screen sim city 4
scrolls pretty slowly, probably bad game engine imo

SimCity 4 is an extraordinary CPU hog - how fast is the computer you
want to put the FX5200 into? The 8500 is a pretty decent card if you
stick to resolutions of 1024x768 or lower for most things, but if you
have a slower processing subsystem or small amount of memory (SC4 also
eats memory like some sort of crazy memory eating machine) it might
not make any difference whatsoever.

I had it running with 1 Gigabyte of Memory....and indeed, then yet it
isn't perfect. But my system is nice up to the job

- Asus P4S8X
- Intel Pentium 4, Ghz
- 1 Gb, PC3200
- Ati Radeon 9500 Pro ( then a Leadtek ti4800SE card )

So I didn't had much "scrollies" but going from far vision to a lower
level did take a second or two to do... it's just a heavy game!
