I was about to disagree, then I realized I was looking at the minimum specs rather than the recommended. They do seem pretty intense but I also forget that the 2080ti and the 9700k are nearing 5 years old
Based on regular CS performance this is either concerning or they figured out a lot of performance bugs. I’m surprised they aren’t recommending more RAM as if I remember correctly 32gb and high-core count processors were generally always recommended for bigger cities.

It’ll be interesting to see how quickly mods outpace them.

This was a modern computer in 2019. They’re not that beefy
The minimums seem fairly reasonable, though.

That’s a pretty big gap between the two. Not sure why we still list soundcards.
It’s finally happened. My top of the line PC is now the bare minimum to play new games 🥲
