Cities: Skylines II on GeForce GTX 1630
No. The GeForce GTX 1630 is below Cities: Skylines II's minimum spec (GeForce GTX 970). Our model still estimates ~14 fps at 1080p low (range 11–17, medium confidence, ±20%), but cards below the minimum may not be supported. The cheapest current card for 60 fps at 1080p high is the GeForce RTX 3080 10GB (~60 fps). Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.

Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: not reachable
- 60 fps at 1440p: not reachable
- 144 fps at 1080p: not reachable
This GeForce card has no tensor cores, so DLSS is not available. Use FSR or XeSS in quality mode before dropping the preset.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce GTX 1630 back.
- Processor needed for ~14 fps: Core i3-9100F or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (Core i5-12600K): still GPU-limited at 1080p high, ~8 fps.
Video memory
- GeForce GTX 1630: 4 GB
- Minimum spec: 4 GB (+0 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 10 GB (6 GB short)
