The hardware requirements are insane for this game

[BreakdowN]

i have a notebook with following specs:
GTX860M 2G maxwell
i7 4710HQ
16G RAM
128 SSD + 1TB HDD

Nvidia Geforce experience just recommends me setting everything to low for this game.
I am sure I'm using the dedicated video card, but the game is not smooth at all. Even I just want to play on 1080p and set everthing to low, the game is very lag (around 20 fps). Now I am playing at 1360*768 on a 17 inch display with everything on low.

Does this game and this graphics really require such a high-end computer? I bought this laptop several months ago and this is the only game that performance is so, so bad. I played bioshock, dota2, skyrim, EU4, civilization 5 and civilization BE. Those games performed just well with everything maxed out.

Wait until your city has 200k pop, then you'll see why the requirements are this high. :)

Civ V is turn based - The only time the engine is running overtime is between turns.

so what? hah? where have I said the opposite?
if a game runs with a proper speed, it runs whenever it does anything.

I think it's normal,your gpu is 78% lower than mine http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=2536&gid2=2143&compare=geforce-gtx-970m-3gb-vs-geforce-gtx-860m-2gb

I have a Asus GTX980 and Nvidia Geforce experience recommends low/medium settings...

allrighty guys, think a bit before you start bashing him.
Civ V has quite resource-needy, so is Skyrim. If someone is able to run those games properly, he should be expecting a city manager to also run properly.

No.... Just no.


Comparing Apples and Oranges (as per usuall on the Intarwebz).


I could run Skyrim flat out on a 1090T + HD4890 1GB (with the original textures, not the HD one's).
That also isn't a simulation comparable to Cities....
Neither is Civ.



You are trying to race the Dakar with a Ferrari.
Or sail the Volvo Ocean race with a Dutch Kotter (type of sailing trade ship).



I pitty the fools who compate apples with oranges...
