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 i5-13400 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 570 8GB. There is 43% 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.

FSR 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 RX 570 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	66	83	96
1440p	44	59	73
4K	16	23	30

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 570 8GB has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.

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 RX 570 8GB 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. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX 570 8GB Enough for Sid Meier's Civilization VI?

Frequently asked questions about Sid Meier's Civilization VI on the RX 570 8GB

How many FPS does the RX 570 8GB get in Sid Meier's Civilization VI at 1080p?

The RX 570 8GB averages 66 FPS in Sid Meier's Civilization VI at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 86 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 145 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX 570 8GB manages around 44 FPS at 1440p and around 16 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX 570 8GB run Sid Meier's Civilization VI at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RX 570 8GB averages above 60 FPS in Sid Meier's Civilization VI at 1080p. At higher resolutions you can claw back smoothness by lowering the preset or turning on upscaling.

Do these Sid Meier's Civilization VI figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX 570 8GB has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Sid Meier's Civilization VI?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 570 8GB from around 16 native FPS to an estimated 23 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX 570 8GB?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX 570 8GB is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
