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 7800X3D downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 5700 XT. There is 44% 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.

FSR 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 RX 5700 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	78	98	113
1440p	58	78	96
4K	29	42	54

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 5700 XT has no dedicated hardware for it, so it is an option best left disabled.

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 RX 5700 XT 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.

The CheckFPS verdict

Analysis based on real in-game FPS, not spec sheets

Is the RX 5700 XT Enough for Civilization VII?

The RX 5700 XT delivers 78 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 58 FPS and at 4K 29 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Civilization VII on the RX 5700 XT

How many FPS does the RX 5700 XT get in Civilization VII at 1080p?

The RX 5700 XT averages 78 FPS in Civilization VII at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 101 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 171 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX 5700 XT manages around 58 FPS at 1440p and around 29 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX 5700 XT run Civilization VII at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RX 5700 XT averages above 60 FPS in Civilization VII at 1080p. At higher resolutions you can claw back smoothness by lowering the preset or turning on upscaling.

Do these Civilization VII figures include upscaling or ray tracing?

No. Every FPS figure on this page is native, with no AI upscaling and with ray tracing off. The RX 5700 XT has no ray tracing hardware, so that option is off the table for this card.

How many FPS do I gain by turning on FSR in Civilization VII?

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 5700 XT from around 29 native FPS to an estimated 42 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX 5700 XT?

The figures on this page assume a Intel Core i5-13400, a mid-range processor that does not bottleneck the card. What matters with the RX 5700 XT is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
