Building a sprawling metropolis in Cities: Skylines 2 is a dream... until your frame rate drops to a crawl. South African gamers know the pain of watching a massive city stutter. If you want smooth zoning without melting your rig, you need serious graphical muscle. Let us dive into the ultimate RTX 4070 Ti Super Cities Skylines 2 performance breakdown to see if it handles the heat.

Analysing the Hardware Muscle 🚀

Nvidia packed the 4070 Ti Super with 16GB of VRAM. This is absolutely crucial for texture-heavy simulation games. When testing at 1440p, the results are fantastic. You can expect a steady 60 FPS even when your population hits 100,000 citizens. Pushing 4K is tougher... but DLSS 3 frame generation makes it completely playable. If you are still running an older GPU, it might be time to browse our graphics cards selection.

FPS Test Results for 1440p and 4K

Simulation games eat hardware for breakfast. Our FPS test shows the RTX 4070 Ti Super handles complex lighting and shadows beautifully. At 1440p High settings, average frame rates hover around 65 FPS. At 4K, native rendering drops to about 35 FPS. Turn on DLSS Quality mode... and you jump straight back up to a smooth 55 FPS.

The Ultimate Settings Guide 2026

To get the best RTX 4070 Ti Super Cities Skylines 2 performance, you must optimise your settings. Turn off Depth of Field and Motion Blur immediately. They drain your FPS and make the city look muddy. Keep Volumetric Clouds on Medium. If you prefer a system ready to go right out of the box, our pre-built PC deals offer perfectly balanced systems for heavy simulation titles.

TIP

City Builder Pro Tip 🔧

To prevent late-game stuttering, lower your Level of Detail (LOD) settings to Medium. The RTX 4070 Ti Super handles textures brilliantly, but lowering LOD takes massive strain off your CPU when calculating thousands of moving vehicles.
