The standard for turn-time benchmarks. Late-game turns require huge CPU throughput to process AI moves. High-resolution textures also demand a fair amount of VRAM.
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, all quality settings exceed 181 FPS, suitable for 144Hz+ monitors. At 1440p, all settings exceed 116 FPS. At 4K, all settings exceed 83 FPS.
The Radeon RX 6800 is 270% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 770) for Civilization VI. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 478% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4xxx).
Civilization VI supports: AFMF. The Radeon RX 6800 can use AFMF, providing up to 1.5x-2x frame rate boost.
At lower resolutions (4k low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1080p (medium/high/ultra)), the Radeon RX 6800 becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p low, all 1440p settings, 4k (medium/high/ultra).
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $754. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 181 FPS, equivalent to 0.24 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p ultra, the Radeon RX 6800 sets the ceiling at about 184 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 215 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 14% (FPS gap: 31 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 3/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 8/12.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Radeon RX 6800 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 8% | GPU Limits CPU 12% | GPU Limits CPU 14% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 6% | Balanced | 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.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Radeon RX 6800 can run Civilization VI smoothly up to 4k achieving around 83 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 270% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 478% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $754 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $370 GPU (Rank #39 Value)). Your build is already very cost-efficient, but if you want even more FPS, the next good option is upgrading the GPU. For example, upgrading to the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti for around $799 (Rank #42 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Civilization VI, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The Radeon RX 6800 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 high, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra. CPU-limited at: 4k low.
Yes! Civilization VI supports AFMF, and your Radeon RX 6800 is compatible with AFMF. With Frame Generation enabled, you can expect a 1.5x-2x FPS multiplier on top of native framerates, significantly boosting perceived smoothness.
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 Radeon RX 6800 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.
