Civilization VII benchmark on RTX 2080 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Civilization VII FPS with a RTX 2080 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 124FPS min 75Excellent | 97FPS min 66Good | 53FPS min 46Acceptable |
| High | 162FPS min 98Excellent | 126FPS min 86Excellent | 69FPS min 60Good |
| Medium | 212FPS min 128Excellent | 164FPS min 111Excellent | 90FPS min 79Good |
| Low | 274FPS min 165Excellent | 213FPS min 145Excellent | 116FPS min 101Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 46% | CPU 33% | GPU 11% |
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 2080 Ti. There is 25% 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 2080 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 124 | 155 | 180 |
| 1440p | 97 | 131 | 160 |
| 4K | 53 | 77 | 98 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 2080 Ti 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 2080 Ti 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 2080 Ti Enough for Civilization VII?
The RTX 2080 Ti delivers 124 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Civilization VII. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 97 FPS and at 4K 53 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
