1080p	24	61
1440p	14	43
4K	8	24

💡 Cities: Skylines II: Big cities are limited by your CPU, not your GPU - upscaling won’t fix that.

🚀 Biggest free win: enable FSR (Balanced) — about +55% FPS for a small sharpness trade.

Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Cities: Skylines II supports DLSS and FSR. A free FPS boost - enable it first, though big cities are limited by your CPU, not the upscaler.

Global IlluminationLow+14% FPS

VolumetricsLow+5% FPS

Volumetric fog and clouds. Expensive for the payoff - drop a notch for an easy win.

Fog QualityLow+5% FPS

Distance and weather fog. Low is fine for a clear city view.

Level of DetailMediumbaseline

How detailed distant buildings stay - also leans on the CPU. Medium for big cities.

Anti-AliasingHighbaseline

Edge smoothing across the cityscape. Cheap; leave it on to reduce shimmer.
