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 RX 6700 XT. There is 31% 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 6700 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.

Resolution	Native	FSR Quality	FSR Performance
1080p	99	124	144
1440p	76	103	125
4K	42	61	78

About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 6700 XT 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 FSR 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 RX 6700 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 6700 XT Enough for Civilization VII?

The RX 6700 XT delivers 99 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 76 FPS and at 4K 42 FPS at Ultra quality.

Frequently asked questions about Civilization VII on the RX 6700 XT

How many FPS does the RX 6700 XT get in Civilization VII at 1080p?

The RX 6700 XT averages 99 FPS in Civilization VII at 1080p on Ultra settings. Dropping to High takes it to around 129 FPS, and Low reaches roughly 218 FPS.

What about 1440p and 4K?

On Ultra, the RX 6700 XT manages around 76 FPS at 1440p and around 42 FPS at 4K. Those are native figures: switching on AI upscaling lifts both considerably.

Can the RX 6700 XT run Civilization VII at 60 FPS?

Yes. On Ultra settings the RX 6700 XT averages above 60 FPS in Civilization VII at 1080p, 1440p. 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 DLSS, FSR or XeSS, and with ray tracing off. The RX 6700 XT can do both: upscaling pushes the frame rate up, ray tracing pulls it down.

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

At 4K, FSR on Quality mode takes the RX 6700 XT from around 42 native FPS to an estimated 61 FPS. Performance mode goes higher still, at the cost of some image sharpness.

What processor do I need to pair with the RX 6700 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 6700 XT is that the CPU is not far below it: past that class, moving up a processor barely changes FPS at higher resolutions.
