Cities: Skylines II: Low FPS Fix. How to Improve Performance (Performance Beta Update)

Short answer

Tune your graphics settings to get the most FPS

How to fix it

  1. Adjust your graphics settings to improve performance, starting with the most impactful settings:
    disable Global Illumination, set Shadows to LOW, and set Volumetrics to MEDIUM or LOW.
  2. Consider disabling Depth of Field or setting it to MEDIUM, as this can also improve FPS.
  3. Experiment with different Anti-Aliasing settings, such as CUSTOM (TAA, High, 8x) or SMAA Low, to find a balance between quality and performance.
  4. If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, try using DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) to improve performance while maintaining image quality.

If it still doesn't work

  • Try reducing the quality of other graphics settings, such as Ambient Occlusion, Clouds, or Reflections, to see if this improves performance.
  • If you're using a high-resolution display, consider reducing the resolution or using a lower graphics quality preset to improve FPS.
  • Keep in mind that the game's performance can vary depending on your system configuration and the specific graphics settings you're using, so you may need to experiment with different combinations to find what works best for you.
