Sid Meier's Civilization VI benchmark on RX 580 8GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Sid Meier's Civilization VI FPS with a RX 580 8GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 82FPS min 58Good | 55FPS min 48Acceptable | 21FPS min 19Poor |
| High | 107FPS min 76Good | 71FPS min 62Good | 27FPS min 24Poor |
| Medium | 139FPS min 99Excellent | 93FPS min 81Good | 36FPS min 32Acceptable |
| Low | 180FPS min 128Excellent | 120FPS min 105Excellent | 46FPS min 41Acceptable |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 27% | GPU 13% | GPU 66% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 580 8GB. There is 39% 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 580 8GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 82 | 103 | 119 |
| 1440p | 55 | 74 | 91 |
| 4K | 21 | 30 | 39 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 580 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 580 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.
Is the RX 580 8GB Enough for Sid Meier's Civilization VI?
The RX 580 8GB delivers 82 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Sid Meier's Civilization VI. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 55 FPS and at 4K 21 FPS at Ultra quality.
