Civilization VII benchmark on GTX 1060 6GB: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Civilization VII FPS with a GTX 1060 6GB and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 45FPS min 40Acceptable | 29FPS min 26Poor | 12FPS min 11Unplayable |
| High | 58FPS min 51Acceptable | 38FPS min 34Acceptable | 15FPS min 13Poor |
| Medium | 76FPS min 67Good | 49FPS min 43Acceptable | 20FPS min 18Poor |
| Low | 98FPS min 86Good | 64FPS min 57Good | 26FPS min 23Poor |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | GPU 29% | GPU 54% | GPU 81% |
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 5 2600 downwards the processor becomes the brake on the GTX 1060 6GB. There is 18% 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 Civilization VII 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 GTX 1060 6GB with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 45 | 56 | 65 |
| 1440p | 29 | 39 | 48 |
| 4K | 12 | 17 | 22 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The GTX 1060 6GB 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.
Here the graphics card is the brake: the GTX 1060 6GB is what caps the frame rate in Civilization VII. A faster processor would hardly change the result.
Is the GTX 1060 6GB Enough for Civilization VII?
The GTX 1060 6GB delivers 45 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Civilization VII. Performance is acceptable but not ideal. Consider lowering the resolution or quality.
At 1440p it gets 29 FPS and at 4K 12 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU does not reach 60 FPS at 1080p Ultra
