At 4k low, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 163 FPS, while the Quadro GP100 could reach 189 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 14% (FPS gap: 26 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 3/12 cells, GPU limits 3/12, balanced 6/12.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Quadro GP100 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 6% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 8% | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 14% | CPU Limits GPU 10% | Balanced | Balanced |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + Quadro GP100 pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 23% and 61% and GPU utilization between 23% and 99%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Quadro GP100 is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 34% at 1080p to 82% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 35% to 43%.
The utilization pattern is relatively balanced. The Quadro GP100 reaches 86% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 43% average, with no single component consistently acting as a hard bottleneck.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 35% and GPU 34%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 33% and GPU 56%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 43% and GPU 82%. This shows that both CPU and GPU workloads increase as pixel count and render complexity rise.
4K (Ultra HD) High is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 43% (25-61%) and GPU 86% (74-99%), which keeps Quadro GP100 well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Quadro GP100 remain reasonably matched for this title.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Quadro GP100 can run Civilization VI smoothly up to 4k achieving around 87 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 130% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 478% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1719 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $1335 GPU (Rank #114 Value)). Your Quadro GP100 is currently the main performance bottleneck and its market value ($1335) is actually higher than newer, faster alternatives. Trading it or upgrading could yield immediate profit and performance gains. For example, upgrading to the Quadro RTX 4000 (móvel) for around $900 (Rank #11 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance while costing less than your current GPU.
For Civilization VI, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Quadro GP100 is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited at: 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra. CPU-limited at: 1440p low, 4k low, 4k medium.
Civilization VI does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Civilization VI requires at minimum a Core i3-2120 (CPU) and GeForce GTS 450 (GPU) with 4 GB RAM and 12 GB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i5-4xxx and GeForce GTX 770 with 8 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Quadro GP100 both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Civilization VI FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
