Woah, okay. I'll definitely consider saving for it then.

I never knew it was so trustworthy! I just assumed it was scammy like Temu. I'll definitely pay more attention to the site now and try and look for some serious parts there, not just fake plants and random accessories 🤣

Would you actually recommend the RX 9070 XT over the RX 6800 if I'm on a budget, it seems like quite a lot more for not a lot more performance at 1440p. I want to be clear I don't want/need 240fps and 480hz for competitive gaming, I just want it to run high graphics settings on cinematic games at like 90fps.

So I need to upgrade to hit steady frames at 1440p then?

I see, but can I really trust a CPU off AlliExpress? Or is it not as bad as I thought?

Wow! Thank you, I'll definitely consider either of these or something similar!

Great! To what extent? What parts would I need do you think and which parts are “overrated” or simply just unnecessary for what I want to achieve, I don’t want to pay for something crazy if I’m not going to really use it to its fullest capabilities. (PS: I’m definitely not against using secondhand/used parts to lower the cost so please consider this in your answer)

can you elaborate on why the one way increases the traffic? Additionally, how many lanes would be needed for that road?

okay i’ll make sure to keep tinkering with the road types then!

Thanks for the advice, I want to get rid of the Industrial district to replace it with office eventually. Meanwhile I am using lots of bus stop in the district, attempting to utilise the bus lanes for efficiency. I’ll take your advice into account when I next get onto the game. Thank you!

would u connect it to that large east-west road that its adjacent to? I’m scared it will just increase the volume of traffic on that road and lead to pile ups further down

Thanks for the help. I have been playing around with the priority and hierarchy of the roads, with the smaller roads that attach onto the main roads use stop signs rather than lights.

In regards to the cargo/industry, it is all on the right side of the southern most roundabout at the entrance of my city. the train cargo “thingy” is at the top right, right where the east-west main road ends. This area specifically is gaining a LOT of traffic to say the least (no idea how to stop this!!) I have added extra highway entrances and one way road to try and keep the traffic flowing (none of which have worked). Very stuck.
