Cities: Skylines II: With Setting Performance Settings (Workarounds)
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: This is the best settings I found without compromising much quality while maximizing framerate: -Maximum frame latency: 2 -Depth of Field mode: Disabled -Upscaler: DLSS 4 -Upscaler Quality: Quality (or Balanced if you…
How to fix it
- Try setting Maximum frame latency to 2 to potentially improve your framerate.
- Disable Depth of Field mode, as it may be impacting performance.
- Use DLSS 4 as your upscaler, and set the Upscaler Quality to Quality or Balanced, depending on your needs.
- Set Clouds Quality to High and enable Fog to maintain a good balance between visuals and performance.
- Set Volumetrics Quality to Medium, Ambient Occlusion to High, and Reflections to High to achieve a good visual quality.
- Disable Global Illumination to potentially improve performance.
If it still doesn't work
- Check if your graphics card supports DLSS 4 or 4.5, as this may be a factor in your performance issues.
- Consider updating your Nvidia drivers, as the latest version may be required to take full advantage of DLSS 4 or 4.5.
- Experiment with different settings to find a balance between visuals and performance that works for you.
- If you are running the game at a high resolution, such as 4K, you may need to make further adjustments to achieve a smooth framerate.

Does this game support DLSS 4.5? Do you need the latest Nvidia drivers? I don't usually update unless I have to. I'm still on 610.88 released in July 2026. I have a 4080 Super/7800X3D and run it at 4K, although my benchmark results have only been 30fps on High. I'm just trying the game for the free weekend.
Yes, it does have DLSS 4/4.5 as of last game update. Try the settings from my post and check if it helps.
