Can I Run Cities: Skylines?

Choose the two parts in your machine and this page tells you whether Cities: Skylines will run, roughly what frame rate to expect from it, and what Cities: Skylines actually asked for when they published the requirements. No download, no detection tool.

Your answer

Yes, comfortably

Comfortably. The GeForce RTX 4060 is well past what Cities: Skylines recommends, so expect roughly 126 fps at 1080p (1920 x 1080) with room to raise settings further.

In Cities: Skylines the Ryzen 5 5600 runs out before the GeForce RTX 4060 does, so the processor rather than the card is what sets this figure and a quicker card would not move it.

The Cities: Skylines requirements above were retrieved from its own Steam listing, app 255710, and reproduced unchanged, and because a patch to Cities: Skylines can change them that listing is the authority if a figure here looks stale. The verdict and the frame rate shown for Cities: Skylines are ours, modelled from our hardware index rather than measured on a test bench. Steam listing. How we calculate this.
