In this video, we'll go over the process that I used to benchmark a variety of hardware to gauge the performance of Cities Skylines 2 on systems of various p...
📅 At the start of October, Colossal Order increased the minimum and recommended requirements for City Skylines 2.
⚠️ Two weeks later, they admitted they had not achieved the performance benchmarks they targeted, but promised continuous improvement.
🖥️ Concerns arise about whether budget and mid-range hardware can provide a satisfactory gaming experience.
💻 The video creator purchased various hardware to test the game’s performance and provide insights on necessary upgrades.
🎮 Initial tests show that older and budget cards can achieve 30 FPS on low settings, while high-end cards can reach 30 FPS on high settings.
📊 1% lows were significantly better on high settings for some cards, and disabling Vsync improved overall performance.- 🔄 Resizable BAR should be enabled in the BIOS for a 10% performance boost on compatible CPUs and GPUs.

I wasn’t able to watch the video but did check out the document with all testing results, and it seems that the highest performing setup he got was with a 3080ti and even then he was unable to hit 60fps
It’s a city sim, not a FPS… I think I agree when he says in the video that 30 fps is all you really need. Lower than that does hurt, but higher doesn’t really help that much.
That said, yes, the game needs more optimizing. I’m not really worried that it won’t be though. I do feel like the current release date is kinda early access-esq though.
