RTX 4080 Specifications
These are the basic specs. The full RTX 4080 page adds the rest of the technical data and its FPS game by game, not just in Civilization VII.

Civilization VII benchmark on RTX 4080: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Civilization VII FPS with a RTX 4080 and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 213FPS min 109Excellent | 184FPS min 100Excellent | 128FPS min 82Excellent |
| High | 277FPS min 141Excellent | 239FPS min 130Excellent | 166FPS min 107Excellent |
| Medium | 363FPS min 185Excellent | 313FPS min 171Excellent | 218FPS min 140Excellent |
| Low | 469FPS min 239Excellent | 405FPS min 221Excellent | 282FPS min 182Excellent |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 62% | CPU 56% | CPU 39% |
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 4080. There is 14% 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 4080 with DLSS enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | DLSS Quality | DLSS Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 213 | 266 | 309 | 452 |
| 1440p | 184 | 248 | 304 | 422 |
| 4K | 128 | 186 | 237 | 316 |
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 4080 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 4080 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 4080 Enough for Civilization VII?
The RTX 4080 delivers 213 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Civilization VII. More than enough for 144Hz. You can comfortably play at 1440p.
At 1440p it gets 184 FPS and at 4K 128 FPS at Ultra quality.
This GPU is more than enough — you can play at 1440p or 4K comfortably
