Can I run it?

[GG]

Kind of lost with the new specs. What do y'all think? Thks :)

MSI GP73 8RE-430CA Leopard 17.3" 120 Hz Intel Core i7 8th Gen 8750H (2.20 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 16 GB Memory 128 GB NVMe SSD 1 TB HDD

You're on a laptop? That processor is pretty weak to be honest with you. Graphics are also kind of low. Your Ram (Memory) definitely fits in the recommended, though people definitely upgrade to 32GB of Ram, due to the fact that the game may require more ram usage, 16GB is just the set standard.

I'd say probably the lowest settings, whatever resolution is below 1080p, that's really your only shot at playing the game, but I have to be honest, due to your processor and graphics card, you might be experiencing major FPS drops even on the lowest settings. I know they said GTX 970 for the lowest, but that's with an Okay processor. Yours doesn't even meet the requirement for the minimum processor.

I think if you can find a good Job, and save up money then you can definitely buy a Beefy PC setup better than mine. Maybe in the future.

Sorry to break it to you.

P.S. this isn't about "wait and see the performance" the performance may be more demanding than the minimum requirement, or it might be lower, but there's no way to know. I'm simply stating that you need to upgrade badly.

Sorry op, but this is probably going to be an un-optimized mess on release. So no, but long-term; maybe.

Stop spreading misinformation.

Every new gameplay I see, the game runs perfectly fine, it's just certain people with 3060s and 2070s under HIGH settings that experience lag, so you assume it's the game that's unoptimized. WRONG.

That's barely scratching the minimum specs. Laptop CPUs are more often than not limited by a 45W TDP, so that's likely your biggest bottleneck here.

Given their recommended spec is a 12th-gen Intel CPU and an RTX 3080 (what are they smoking?) and they haven't specified how the game will run at the minimum specs, I wouldn't expect any wonders.
Unity is a general-purpose engine far from optimised for large scale city-builders like Cities: Skylines and I wouldn't be surprised if it runs at a barely playable framerate even on fairly recent systems.

But see it like that: SimCity 4 also ran like arse when it got released, because it simply was that bloody demanding.

You get it. Game will get many optimization passes after release. Plenty of players will be sending in reports and helping the devs iron things out

My pc specifications are as follows :
1. Amd Ryzen 7 5700x
2. Nvidia Rtx 3070 8 gb
3. 16 gb RAM
4. 1 TB SSD
5. 1080p Monitor

Can I play this nice game smoothly without any lag at now and upcoming days after release of future dlcs?

If I can play, then which settings - low/ medium / high/ ultra?

You are just barely under the recommended. No one knows what settings the recommended specs can handle though.

Well, thanks for the rapid answer. My laptop is pretty ok for the kind of 4x game i'm playing, but obviously, to weak for the new specs. I guess i'm gonna be stuck with City Skyline 1 for a while haha.
