📅 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.
