1080p	15	46
1440p	9	28
4K	5	16

💡 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.

At 1080p expect around 46 FPS, at 1440p about 28 FPS, and at 4K roughly 16 FPS with optimized settings. The single biggest improvement is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality.
