My settings to get 60+FPS

[aritheory]

The settings below are getting me between 50-90fps depending on what I'm looking at. I can't speak for larger cities, but this will hopefully at least make it playable for you.

I started with a fresh map on medium settings and it hovered around 20-30fps :>

So I set the global setting to Low, and then manually increased each option. The main options that helped were:
- Removing DOF
- Removing Motion Blur
- Reducing any option with "ray" in the name to the lowest value (this was a big one -- CO, if you are using RT, please give us an option!)
- Increasing the "Target Patch Size" and reducing "Subdivisions" in Terrain.
- Dynamic Resolution: changing this to "Constant" and playing with the minimum resolution seems to work nicely.

My specs are nothing serious:
- Ryzen 5 5600X
- Radeon 6800XT
- 16GB RAM

To find your settings file:
- Go to %appdata%\..\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II (this may be in a different location depending on where you got the game)
- Find the file Settings.coc
- Paste the settings below into the file and save

Hopefully CO can improve the performance soon :) Peace.

there are a couple of save games (100k and others ) floating around there to benchmark.

[aritheory]

With a few more minor tweaks to things like terrain, I'm getting 50+fps on the 100k map with this.
