The NVIDIA RTX 5090 is a flagship 4K-class card with 32GB of VRAM, and Cities: Skylines II is a demanding, graphically heavy game. Paired with a balanced Intel Core i9-14900K-class CPU it averages about 105 FPS at 4K with FrameCoach's tuned settings — up from roughly 105 FPS with everything on High.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 205 | 205 |
| 1440p | 185 | 185 |
| 4K | 105 | 105 |
At 1080p expect around 205 FPS, at 1440p about 185 FPS, and at 4K roughly 105 FPS with optimized settings. Its 32GB of VRAM is plenty for Cities: Skylines II. Cities: Skylines II doesn't use upscaling, so the gains come from trimming the heaviest settings.
