At the risk of sounding like a broken record (I wrote this on another thread with the same issue...), but I recently reformatted my hard drive and Sim City's speed became MUCH faster.

If the game was designed for less than top performing PCs [common PCs ], then there wouldn't be so much bad PR!
Because I have these issues as well, I'm definitely not buying any more games from Origin.

Not sure I can help, but unless you are running a really old computer that has never had driver updates, your lag problem should not be because the game is designed for higher-end PC's. This game was coded in 2013 - and this thread is from game launch in 2013 as well. So, odds are your issue is something else.
Some things that may help -
If none of these work, try a clean boot and launch SimCity. If it runs well after a clean boot, you'll have some detective work to do. Enable one startup program at a time, reboot, try SimCity, until you find the program that is blocking it.
Hope that helps - Happy Building!

This issue still hasn't been resolved. Quite shocking that after nearly 10 years of your post and Ea acknowledging the problem it's still not fixed!
I have a 4090ti Gpu and 1gb Download Internet. I spent over 5k on my pc and it couldn't handle the lag/fps drops
I played in other cities with 200-300k population and its fine. Soon as I go into my tourist city with the casinos and great work of Space activated my frames drop harder then the housing market back in 07/08.
P.s I tried to play in this tourist city on my 3080 gpu computer and my 3070 laptop all incur the same issue.

Goos evening
This issue is still happening when I have a stadium up it gets real laggy 1 frame a second/ frozen
with a new block of land in the same region no issue.
I had more people on the city with no issues and now I have 100,000 less people and it's laggy something to note I had a meteorite shower (3rd one for the city ) but this one left plot of radiation. Could this little pocket of radiation be laggying it as well? Please fix I know game is 10 years old and no financial gain but it's unplayable
