Cities: Skylines.

Go to solution Solved by WereCat,

You will be fine. The game is CPU intensive but with that i5 it should be very playable.

I wondering is game is demanding?

1080p high/ultra probably :D

 

If the FPS tanks it's all down to the CPU and it doesn't really matter what graphics settings you are playing then, ok maybe a bit.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Graphically it's not demanding at all. It seems to be the simulation math and AI pathing and such that bog down the game once you reach a certain population density, which your video card probably has nothing to do with. I think you're all set for 1080p and close to max settings, just expect slowdowns anyway once your city gets big enough.

At first it will be wonderfully smooth, no issues at all.

 

The more dense you make your city however the more your performance tanks specially when zoomed in and on the highest speed that just really needs CPU. Like not even a 6700k with a decent overclock can keep up with ridiculously dense and large cities.

 

However really dense cities are also really challenging to achieve anyways you'll run into almost unsolvable traffic issues unless you plan really far ahead in advance or play sandbox. So your playstyle might be limited vs some of the absurd cities you could accomplish in Simcity 4 with well over 1 million population on a smaller map, but if you build a reasonable city, much like the ones you can find on real life except for world famous dense metropoli like New York, you should be fine with your CPU.

 

I have just a 4440 and I haven't been able to achieve a city large enough to really drop my FPS below 30.
