9800X3D + RTX4090 good enough for this game?

[AzysLla]

I heard horrible things when it came out, I only had 7950X3D at that time, but have now upgraded to 9800X3D. Anyone with this CPU tried Skylines 2 yet and is it good? I have an itch for a Simcity game for around three decades now.

No not good enough, you need a 5090 super to play this horrible optimized game xD

it's going to be hit or miss, the only way you're really going to know is by trying. some people with high end hardware have good luck, lots of others don't. I'm running 7800x3d/4080s/64gb ram and the game is barely playable at the best of times for me

Plus a Ryzen 25000000000X 1024-core CPU

don't bother. Your hardware isn't the problem, its the game itself
The game lacks too many basic needs and has too many bugs.
One can hardly call it a simulation or a city builder.

I have ryzen 9 5950X, RX 7900XTX, 64GB DDR4
40-50fps - 4K ultra
so you need PC worth at least 1500 Euro to play this game (1080p 60fps+)

Not unless you have a grunty power supply and lots of high speed, late generation, RAM, as well.

Well, my Ryzen 9 7950x with an ancient RTX 2080Ti Founder's Edition with 64GB DDR5-4800 runs this game just fine. An i5 or ryzen 5 with an RTX 2060 can run this game just fine. That being stated, this game was engineered around hyperscaling processor setups (Why Colossal Order?)

I have 9800X3D PBO OC to 5.425ghz
4090 rtx, 64GB DDR5 @6200 30,38,38,30

My City is 186k population, the FPS varies a bit depending where my camera is and what speed the game is on.
Mostly its 50fps+ when running on speed 1
At speed 3 it can dip even a little below 40 sometimes.

But I am also running a lot of mods and one of them is setting Traffic reduction value to 0 instead of default 4, meaning there is a crapton of traffic in my game. :D

The game has very good multithreading, its using all my cores very evenly. I assume its the Unity Dots Stack at work.

I'm using a Laptop with an I7 and a 4060 + 32GB DDR5, and yes, while loading the FPS does go down to 1 at times, but it rarely dips below 40 during game play, with a little over 100k population.

If you want it to run smoother, you need to sacrifice tourism. That is the side effect from not having any parks, attractions or landmarks in your city. Bonuses are much better sim speed and 0 homeless. Downside is the low attractivity. For the people living in the city, 0 difference.
