I just want to confirm what was said earlier: It appears that if any part of your city is visible, it stops using the GPU. Scrolling so that the city is out of view and voila! GPU usage goes up again. Going to the cloth map also reactivates the GPU. The only time the GPU usage spikes up momentarily when the city is in view is when zooming in/out and the various LOD levels are activated, but then it goes back to software mode.
