I'm planning to replace my G3258 with an I5-4690 (non-K, four cores) because Cities: Skylines doesn't run smoothly on my current setup. Will the performance improve? If not, I'll likely keep my old CPU. Thanks for your help!
It's a game primarily reliant on the CPU, which means you'll notice a boost in performance.
Runs smoothly on my i5-4690. Usage is a bit high, but speeding up by about three times works fine—this is typical since each route and configuration needs individual simulation. Played it again.
It operates very seamlessly across various settings, though occasionally switching to a higher power configuration requires a brief adjustment period. Once stabilized, performance improves significantly. At full speed, it delivers smooth operation without issues. In standard mode, it runs exceptionally well; no concerns needed. The i5-4690 ranks second among Intel’s Haswell series, behind only the 4690K.
