    I’m personally excited, but I am tired of all the doom and gloom talk. Performance will improve, and the mod changes may actually integrate better than steam. We’ll have to wait and see for sure, but I have more faith in CO than, say Blizzard or EA.

      City Planner Plays did a benchmarking video he recommended:

      • Turn off Vsync to avoid the worst stuttering
      • Disable Dynamic resolution to have things look not terrible at low settings for a minimal performance improvement
      • Turn off fog, volumetrics and depth of field
      • Turn LoD to low

      and the game should at least run without major stuttering even at 50k population, and generally 30k to 100k would only be about a 15-20% difference in framerate apparently. So for my PC with a 6GB card I should at least be able to run this game until I get a big city.
