I want it now! - 5090ti 30GB.

You must be kidding me?
They sold ALL the best chips to big tech for AI data centers!

I'm not so sure now that even this unicorn would help.

As per Smart above, the main bottleneck in the game is CPU and not GPU.

I run the game well enough in a 3060ti, even at max settings 4k resolution.

That is not to say the game is not a GPU slouch, but should run well enough in the newer gaming GPUs.

I'm not so sure. I also use the 3060 in two different i5 systems as well as an i9 3080.

I find in a very large city the CPUz are averaging 55% load and all GPuz are only in 40% load. Niether of them is near the limit on medium settings and of course the simulation barely moves. Seems like they all threw in the towel.

But when I zoom in on a busy street full of Cims all the CPUz and GPUs go equally nuts.
It all seems to work as it should on all three systems and they just want a monster GPU.

Of interest, that that effect of balance only occurred way after 300K pop.

Not sure of you saw it Major Kudos - but I sent you a PM yesterday.

No no bottlenecks at all, like most people the game is the bottleneck when the city gets big.
Hopefully that will change soon.

Yeah, everything kneecaped by this incidious excuse for byte mapping.

My advice is to forget about any 5090 to save this game, will not happen before a class action suit for false and/or misleading advertising is started.

Given the flood of bad press Both CO and PDX should consider rewording any statements from the product website that refer to features that do not function as stated.

The page has not changed in this regard prior to launch to this writing.

Such action would show the result was unintended. The way it appears now is CO/PDX etal are still soliciting buyers based on known (to the community at large) false statements.

On the 5090 thread topic: Cyberpunk2 will be awesome with it, in a few years.

You do realize that for that kind of money you could buy a plane ticket to New York and see skyscrapers in the highest resolution you have ever seen?

Thank you,

And I have above all the recommended requirements and the game runs incredibly poorly at anything over 250k in population and is a total abomination at 900K.

I wish! That won't even pay for the hotel and food costs for the weekend from where I live in wanna be Seattle south west BC.

Seattle:
I loved the Seattle Space Needle 3D model in the "World in Conflict" game.
I had a clan with 500 active players and paid hundreds of dollars every month on game servers for the game and my clan, best gaming memories ever !

At the same time I was working as a Producer on the worst game ever released, coming from previous Cryteks "Crysis" as boss.

If one is not so much into Cities 2 - There are lots of good builder games around. I will be playing Men of War 2 with a tiny gang, once its released. Already beta played it 200 hours in multiplayer, its great WW2 team play joy.

Wishing everybody a nice time in games :)

3080 recomended for Cities 2, Wait! What the....

Don't worry i'll be waiting for that 5090 when it gets announced already planning to gett the 14900ks to replace the 13900k i'm currently rocking.

Yeah but you'd never see that money again if you brought a graphics card at least you'd be able to get some of that money you spent back.

Not saying that you're wrong about hardware optimizations, however I have a 4070Ti and that might be all you need. My game is on max settings at 4k with an easy 60fps at all times. And I have 7 monitors, running live wallpapers, twitch, another game at the same time as CS2. It might be another one of the hardwares from your PC. Ram, CPU, PC optimization and cleanup.
