Cities: Skylines 2 | Steam Deck (OLED) Performance Test | Very Low vs Low vs Medium vs High
#citiesskylines2 #steamdeck #performance #performancetest
I compare the performance of various presets on the Steam Deck OLED for Cities: Skylines 2.
I think the game is only playable on Very Low settings, and even that's a stretch, because the late game will likely perform even worse. You should also turn off dynamic resolution, as the image will otherwise be heavily pixelated.
The other presets are not really playable on the Steam Deck.
On the bright side, the gamepad controls work very well, which bodes well for the console release.
Here's a breakdown of the performance:
Very Low settings (dynamic resolution off): 20-35 FPS
Low settings (dynamic resolution off): 14-19 FPS
Medium settings (dynamic resolution off): 10-16 FPS
High settings (dynamic resolution off): 6-12 FPS
Very Low settings with dynamic resolution on (auto): 20-36 FPS
And as mentioned, this is all for the early game.
What do you think? Did anyone else play Cities: Skylines 2 on the Steam Deck? And with what graphical settings?
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
