Describe your issue
Poor Game Performance on a Mac Pro

What is your game version?
2023.3

What expansions do you have installed?
(DID NOT ANSWER QUESTION)

What mods are you using?
Mods Are Disabled

Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I have been having poor performance in Cities Skylines, Averaging about 25 to about 5 FPS. I do have mods installed (the majority of which are vehicle mods) I have disabled them but it doesn't make a difference. I recently purchased a newer GPU (an RX 580 8GB) hoping that it would fix the sluggish performance but it has not done anything. I have the graphical settings turned down but it also doesn't make a difference. My computer specs are listed below.


My Computer Specs

Apple Mac Pro 3,1 Running Mac OS Mojave and Windows 10 Pro
(Dual CPU) Intel Xeon E5462 (2.80 GHz Each)
28 GB 800 MHz DDR2
Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 580 8 GB
600 GB WD HDD


Kind Regards,

Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.

Your CPU is substantially below the minimum requirement :

I don't think there's anything much that can be done to help that; turning off features like shadow distance might help but of course those are video-related and that's not where your problem is it seems.
 
Could it be the dual CPU config that is causing the bad performance?
The published minimum Intel® Core™ I7 930 has 4 cores, so I guess the answer is "yes". But more core sin an under-powered CPU won't help much.
