City Skylines 2 did not deliver as we all hoped - especially regarding performance and optimization! Here are the best optimized settings I could come up with - and I would go as far as saying it will suit every gaming rig! Why? Because there is no magic rabbit out of the hat trick - settings will turn down all the visuals to the point where it's still ok(-ish) so no matter what kind of system have, this is it - this is the best game can offer without DLSS or any optimization patch it so desperately needs.

With settings game is not pretty, but it runs as best as it can ever run :D
