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 91 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 75 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 39 to 73 FPS.
The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU is 153% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 770) for Civilization VI. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 478% above the recommended CPU (Core i5-4xxx).
The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p high, the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU sets the ceiling at about 106 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 257 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 59% (FPS gap: 151 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 44% | GPU Limits CPU 51% | GPU Limits CPU 59% | GPU Limits CPU 59% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 31% | GPU Limits CPU 38% | GPU Limits CPU 45% | GPU Limits CPU 45% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 57% | GPU Limits CPU 57% |
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.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D + RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 0% and 61% and GPU utilization between 22% and 99%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 36% at 1080p to 84% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 25% to 38%.
The utilization pattern is relatively even. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU reaches 86% average at its highest-load preset, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D peaks at 44% average. This suggests a fairly controlled load distribution, but the actual FPS-limiting side should still be read from the limiter analysis above.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 25% and GPU 36%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 27% and GPU 56%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 38% and GPU 84%. 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 44% (26-61%) and GPU 86% (74-99%), which keeps RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU can run Civilization VI smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 75 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 153% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 478% above the recommended requirements.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
For Civilization VI, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
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 RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU 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.
