Benchmark samples And method
By stmSantana
I tried to compare benchmarks - Simulation speed and fps -, under the same conditions using two PC systems. (Old Low Performance and New Middle Performance)
Same SaveData, same graphic option. And the same Mods & Assets.
In addition, I made some MODs Enable, then benchmarked and checked the change in score performance hits.
I will share that score and method.
It would be fun to compare and share your score with my score...

Conditions
In order to prevent the score from being affected by Mods and Assets, I compared almost in the vanilla setting.
All assets are Disabled.
However, for benchmarking, Enable several Mods.

I searched and downloaded vanilla SAVEDATAS which does not require DLC, MOD or ASSET from Workshop.
(Savedatas Population Over 100,000, Over 240,000, Over 380,000)
However, I have enabled all DLC except Radio DLC.
STEP 1: Back up the current settings.
Back up the current settings, Then turn off all Mods, Assets, District styles.
The procedure is in the guide below.

2-3: Subscribe and Enable following Save datas.

Data1： 100,000 Pop

Data2： 240,000 Pop

Data3： 380,000 Pop

STEP 3: Graphics and Gameplay options.



STEP 4: Load savedatas and Benchmark.
After loading the data, I went to a specific place on the map and got scores in the distance view and close view.
These were Benchmarked after standing for 1 minute at Speed: x1 at each measurement location.
