Game Lagging even on lowest graphic settings OS X

[RabbitCEO]

I have tried everything to get this game working and im still unable to play the game and enjoy it, my mac specs should be plenty to be able to run the game as it runs bigger programs and games than Cities: Skylines. I have set everything to low graphics and tried all sorts of settings in Skylines but nothing is working. The specs are as followed:
OS X Yosemite
Version 10.10.5
3 GHz Intel Core i5
16 GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 210 1024MB

Any ideas please.

Your graphics are way below minimum specs. GTX 260 is minimum. You're at 210.

I would be looking at saving a little more.

Or try eBay and buy used. I see used GTX 660s selling for under $75 USD.

The GTX 660 is the lowest listed for recommended. A GTX 650 Ti is a little slower, but not by much. Used GTX 650 Ti are selling under $40 USD on eBay.

Watch out for your power supply unit (PSU). Video cards can use a lot of extra power and may require a new PSU. The 650 Ti uses 110W and your motherboard supplies 75watts. So you may be okay.

List your power supply make and model number to be safe. I can get all of the specs with that and tell you your limits.

Hi thanks for all your help my power supply is 500w coolmaster

I need the make and model number. not all 500watt power supplies are created equal. Some 500watts mean 500 watt peak test that lasts for a few milliseconds, others a few hours, others 24/7 others at a specific efficiency rating 24/7, etc.

Make and model numbers will also tell me more about connectors and voltage rails and how the 500 watts is divided among the 12, 5, and 3 volt rails.
