Cities: Skylines 2 Settings

[IsakStar]

Hi LTT forum. Im rocking a intel core i5 2gen and its not exactly running Cities flawlesly. I woud like some help with tweaking my in-game settings. For more context i have a GTX 960 8gb and 16 gb of DDR3 ram.

You're going to struggle.

 

Graphics wise, what GPU do you have? There is no such thing as a RTX 960 8GB. There was a GTX 960 2GB or 4GB versions. Either way, I'm guessing you're going to have to set low default, then make sure "depth of field" and "motion blur" are off if it isn't already done by the preset. Pretty much needs V-sync off in the current state. I used this on an Arc A380 which is more powerful than a 960 on average and it was playable.

 

Note you will run into sim speed problems sooner than later. There is no settings fix for this. You will need more CPU. Game will still look ok but simulation speed will be painfully slow as the city population grows.

What's this?

 

I fell like it'll be at least a year before the game is properly optimized for all hardware, minimum spec hardware. Looking at how you're below the minimum requirements I doubt your hardware will even shine and make the game playable for you. Might just be too old.

 

In terms of settings, drop clouds, shadows, DoF and use upscaling. Outside of that not too much else

Thanks! I’m going to get a new system this Black Friday. And I meant GTX.
