Sid Meier's Civilization VI benchmark on RTX 3080 Laptop: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Sid Meier's Civilization VI FPS with a RTX 3080 Laptop and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 316FPS min 148Excellent | 273FPS min 135Excellent | 117FPS min 77Good |
| High | 411FPS min 193Excellent | 355FPS min 175Excellent | 153FPS min 101Excellent |
| Medium | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 464FPS min 229Excellent | 200FPS min 132Excellent |
| Low | 500FPS min 235Excellent | 500FPS min 247Excellent | 258FPS min 171Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 69% | CPU 65% | CPU 36% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RTX 3080 Laptop. There is 9% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
DLSS performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Sid Meier's Civilization VI at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RTX 3080 Laptop with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 316 | 395 | 458 |
| 1440p | 273 | 369 | 450 |
| 4K | 117 | 170 | 216 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3080 Laptop does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and DLSS is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RTX 3080 Laptop has headroom to spare in Sid Meier's Civilization VI: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help.
Is the RTX 3080 Laptop Enough for Sid Meier's Civilization VI?
The RTX 3080 Laptop delivers 316 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Sid Meier's Civilization VI. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 273 FPS and at 4K 117 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
