Comment on 2023 was the year that GPUs stood still
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 8 months agoCities Skylines 2 is really bad because you’d expect given how poorly it runs on your 4090 that a meager 1060 wouldn’t run it at all, but on the contrary I’ll probably get the same performance as you.

One thing that’s very apparent is that with more traffic the simulation slows down while the framerate isn’t (so all cars go in slow motion, even though I’m at 3x speed). This means that it’s severely CPU-limited.
I don’t know how multithreaded their simulation is, I have a 5950X with 32 hardware threads. Maybe an upgrade to the new generation of Ryzen CPUs that are going to come out around February could help.

Generally speaking, simulation games are always single-threaded. You’re always better off with a higher clock speed, those extra threads just won’t be utilized.

Well, that will get harder and harder to achieve, since CPUs are getting more cores, they aren’t getting much faster these days.
