The game on my laptop seems to consistently utilize way more CPU time than on the desktop, but I could be wrong on that - I only just noticed it maybe and haven't done any focused observations yet. I noticed renicing the process to -10 helped at least slightly improve playability, but frame rates still suck and still only suddenly becomes smooth every once in a while.

I have no doubt the 960 should have been able to handle it with enough VRAM for my situation. I guess the renicing I mention below maybe was allowing the CPU to spend more time swapping shit in and out of VRAM? Fortunately, I had a GTX970 4GB card in another machine that wasn't being used, so I swapped them and now the game is running smooth as butter.
#CITIES SKYLINES NOT ENOUGH BUYERS MODS#
With the number of custom assets (and maybe some mods could affect it too), 2GB just wasn't enough apparently. Something I read on a random forum somewhere made me think to double check. UPDATE/SOLVED: I blindly assumed the GPU I had in the afflicted machine was a 4GB card. Saints Row III and IV both run great.Īny advice is greatly appreciated! I've been fighting this off and on for months, usually giving up before I post but figure it's worth a shot. I don't have a ton of other games to try on the desktop, but e.g. Here is bunch of information about the machine in question (including my kernel config): I'm happy to provide any additional logs and etc.just not sure what is relevant at this time. I've double checked my kernel config and don't notice anything missing or wrong but I can't help but think it may be here that I'm overlooking something. Sometimes enabling or disabling v-sync will kick it in for a while but again it's only temporary. RAM usage is high on both machines but never runs out (plus I have some swap space that never gets used). Having it be the only application running changes nothing. Changing the resolution and gfx detail settings doesn't do anything. I'm using the same mods and playing the same city on both machines (nevertheless, tried disabling all mods & tried other cities). Sometimes if I resize the window a few times, it will suddenly start to run smooth for a while, but eventually, frame rates drop back down. The desktop, however, I'm lucky if it's playable most of the time. On the laptop, I run at 3440x1440 and it's glass-smooth all day long (don't know the actual FPS).

The former has a gtx980m (~=gtx970 desktop card) w/ 6820HK cpu, the later has a gtx960 w/ 6700K cpu. I run this game on 2 similarly spec'ed machines: a laptop and a desktop. First, I don't think this is a Gentoo issue, but more of a configuration oversight on my part somewhere.
