Cities: Skylines II benchmark on RX 7900 XTX: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Cities: Skylines II FPS with a RX 7900 XTX and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 113FPS min 73Good | 98FPS min 68Good | 69FPS min 60Good |
| High | 147FPS min 95Excellent | 127FPS min 88Excellent | 90FPS min 78Good |
| Medium | 192FPS min 124Excellent | 166FPS min 116Excellent | 117FPS min 102Good |
| Low | 248FPS min 160Excellent | 215FPS min 150Excellent | 152FPS min 132Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 39% | CPU 30% | balanced |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 7900 XTX. There is 22% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Cities: Skylines II at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX 7900 XTX with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 113 | 141 | 164 | 240 |
| 1440p | 98 | 132 | 162 | 224 |
| 4K | 69 | 100 | 128 | 170 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 7900 XTX does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RX 7900 XTX has headroom to spare in Cities: Skylines II: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RX 7900 XTX Enough for Cities: Skylines II?
The RX 7900 XTX delivers 113 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Cities: Skylines II. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 98 FPS and at 4K 69 FPS at Ultra quality.
