Civilization VII benchmark on RTX 3090 Ti: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Civilization VII FPS with a RTX 3090 Ti and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 192FPS min 101Excellent | 162FPS min 92Excellent | 105FPS min 72Good |
| High | 250FPS min 132Excellent | 211FPS min 120Excellent | 136FPS min 94Excellent |
| Medium | 327FPS min 173Excellent | 276FPS min 157Excellent | 178FPS min 123Excellent |
| Low | 423FPS min 223Excellent | 357FPS min 203Excellent | 231FPS min 159Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 59% | CPU 52% | CPU 31% |
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 3090 Ti. There is 15% 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 3090 Ti with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 192 | 240 | 278 |
| 1440p | 162 | 219 | 267 |
| 4K | 105 | 152 | 194 |
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 3090 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 3090 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.
Is the RTX 3090 Ti Enough for Civilization VII?
The RTX 3090 Ti delivers 192 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Civilization VII. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 162 FPS and at 4K 105 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
