RTX 4070 Super Specifications
These are the basic specs. The full RTX 4070 Super page adds the rest of the technical data and its FPS game by game, not just in Civilization VII.

Civilization VII benchmark on RTX 4070 Super: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Civilization VII FPS with a RTX 4070 Super and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 169FPS min 92Excellent | 139FPS min 82Excellent | 83FPS min 63Good |
| High | 220FPS min 120Excellent | 181FPS min 107Excellent | 107FPS min 81Good |
| Medium | 287FPS min 156Excellent | 236FPS min 140Excellent | 140FPS min 106Excellent |
| Low | 371FPS min 202Excellent | 306FPS min 181Excellent | 182FPS min 137Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 56% | CPU 48% | CPU 20% |
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 4070 Super. 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.
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 4070 Super with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 169 | 211 | 245 | 359 |
| 1440p | 139 | 188 | 229 | 320 |
| 4K | 83 | 120 | 154 | 204 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RTX 4070 Super 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 4070 Super 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 4070 Super Enough for Civilization VII?
The RTX 4070 Super delivers 169 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Civilization VII. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 139 FPS and at 4K 83 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
