Civilization VII benchmark on RTX 2070: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Civilization VII FPS with a RTX 2070 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 82FPS min 58Good | 63FPS min 55Good | 34FPS min 30Acceptable |
| High | 107FPS min 76Good | 82FPS min 71Good | 45FPS min 40Acceptable |
| Medium | 139FPS min 99Excellent | 107FPS min 93Good | 58FPS min 51Acceptable |
| Low | 180FPS min 128Excellent | 138FPS min 120Excellent | 75FPS min 66Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 27% | balanced | GPU 45% |
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 RTX 2070. 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.
DLSS 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 RTX 2070 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 82 | 103 | 119 |
| 1440p | 63 | 85 | 104 |
| 4K | 34 | 49 | 63 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2070 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 2070 has headroom to spare in Civilization VII: 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 RTX 2070 Enough for Civilization VII?
The RTX 2070 delivers 82 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Civilization VII. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 63 FPS and at 4K 34 FPS at Ultra quality.

RTX 2070 or Intel Arc B570 for Civilization VII?
In Civilization VII at 1080p Ultra both land on the same figure: 82 FPS. Price and power draw are what separate them.
