Performance poll/survey - how does cities skylines run for you and what hardware are you using ?

[pmoores]

i7-4770k
A temp gforce 460
16gigs ram.

I am mostly using the map editor at the moment, but I did notice that with over 1400 assets, as my ram usage past 10gigs and which is now showing 11+ gigs, I am getting a occasional stutter. Got 16gigs planned on the books but now right now.

I have a 780 I will reinstall soon. But I do believe it is like when I worked with 3d rendering programs, 11gigs of 16 plus even just the operating system and a browser is cutting it too close.

Today I wanted to play Cities Skylines but with the snowfall DLC. I loaded the game up chose the 'Frosty Rivers Map' and it took longer to load. 5 minutes. After it loaded the game became terribly slow at 3 FPS. Before installing the DLC the game ran fine. And I do not think my hardware is causing the issue. My notebook has the following specs: i7 5500U, an nVidia GTX 850M and 8GB of RAM. after disabling the DLC performance was still bad. I really like this game but now its just unplayable. I even thought reinstalling the game would work but it didn't.

ASUS K501LX- EB71

Starts slowing down at 30-40k, more than 60k is almost unplayable.

That is more dependant on you. Vanilla and well balanced city should get you to max possible. i.e. until the game engine runs out of power.

Otherwise, it will depend on workshop items if you you use them. Well past 9-tiles in a ny case.

I'm running the following:
i7-6700k stock
16gb ram
1070 G1 from Gigabyte (latest drivers)
1TB HD
Windows 10 (latest patch)

And with that kind of hardware I'm getting between 25 and 60 fps...

 

[Baltizar]

Intel 4770K @ 4.2 GHz
32GB RAM
GeForce GTX 970 4GB

Runs smooth up to a pop of 400K then starts to stutter. Mind you I do have a lot of MODs and Assets installed ( 96 mods 2500 assets and props)

 

[MarkJohnson]

AMD A8 7650K
12 GB RAM
Ubuntu 16.10 default drivers

Loads game (even new ones) then CRASHES right before game starts. Goes to desktop.

If you are crashing, you need to make a new thread in the Support and Big reports section to get help. This is a survey thread, not help thread.

I think the i5 is starting to struggle at max time compression with 100K residents. Standard speed is flawless though. Haven't check RAM usage but I am using a quite a few mods.

 

[metacritical]

the likely culprit is a traffic mod like Traffic++ or Traffic Manager President, they use a lot of resources which starts to get noticeable at around the 100k mark, I stopped using them for this very reason.

Thanks for the heads up.

Unfortunately as someone who is obsessed with transportation as well being a senior Civil Engineering Major who has taken numerous transportation/traffic engineering courses, there is zero chance of me giving up my precious traffic mods.

i7 4720HQ
16 GB RAM
nVidia GTX980m
And I have the game installed on the SSD. No problems but didn't go further than 350-400k citizens.
But honestly I posted this here more for bragging purposes, it's for the first time in my life I win enough to actually afford a gaming laptop, I am so darn happy that I bought it, coming from nVidia 525m and old AMD GPUs. Yes, sorry, please pardon me and do carry on.

No worries; half the fun of spec threads is showing off, and at least you're honest. I spent much of my younger years on $500 Dell Inspirons, so I understand the feeling of actually being to finally play the latest games on amazing settings.

2013 MBPr late version yeah

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4258U CPU @ 2.40GHz

 

[Daddl]

Upgraded from FX-4100, HD 6670 1GB and 4 GB Ram to i5-6600, GTX 1060 6GB and 16 GB Ram just yesterday.

So far I noticed that the game doesn't lag at 0 citizens anymore, and that its quite a bit more visually appealing on max settings than it is on low settings, which is...quite nice

I had the same lag on my budget system, upgrading to 6GB ram solved the issue. This game needs 6GB minimum. zero workshop BTW.
