Civilization VI: Notebook and Desktop Benchmarks

Better late than never. At the end of 2016, we got caught up in the excitement of Pascal, Kaby Lake and co. and entirely forgot about Civilization VI. To rectify our mistake, we are putting the latest addition to the Civilization family in the spotlight with multiple notebook and desktop PC tests.

Graphics

The first time you see this turn-based strategy game with its comic visuals, you might think it runs easily on PCs. That is far from the truth: Civilization VI can run on entry-level systems, but if you expect 20-40 fps consistently with high settings or resolutions, we recommend choosing a powerful system. The graphics card is usually the limiting factor for games, but in Civilization VI the processor is just as important.

Our tower PC uses an Intel Core i7-6700K. We ran the game with a GeForce GTX 1060, a GTX 1070 and a GTX 1080: on all settings and resolutions, the frame rates were identical across the graphics cards. On notebooks, we did not notice significant performance increases from a GeForce GTX 980M and upwards. In summary: after a certain level, the graphics performance is not nearly as important as the CPU.

With weaker and/or older processors, the GPU performance is even significantly slowed down. As such, you should not be surprised to see a few relatively "faster" gaming platforms fall behind otherwise "slower" devices. Furthermore, lowering the settings and/or resolutions does not result in a great performance increase. A GTX 980 would perform between 61 FPS (3840x2160 pixels, high settings) and 90 FPS (1024x768, minimum settings).

Now that we are talking about settings, let us take a look at the presets provided in this game. The developer, Firaxis Games, has made it possible to change the game quality with two sliders, which are dubbed "Performance Impact" and "Memory Impact". Advanced users can also manually tweak the video settings, via an additional, detailed graphics menu (also covers the lighting, shadows, overlay, terrain, water and character portraits). Vertical synchronization and optional frame limiter settings can also be found in this extra menu.

Most options can only be turned on or off. Some settings are presented as sliders, but there does not seem to be a great difference between "Low" and "Ultra" - at least from far away. It seems that only "Minimal" settings hurt the game atmosphere due to missing shadows.

Depending on your taste, you will either like or dislike the comic style of this game. We like the fact that this game is very memory-conservative and takes up a mere 8 GB on a storage device. This is a rarity in 2016 where some games can take up to 70 GB (Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, Doom, etc). We also appreciate the option to deactivate the intro video and the ability to activate new settings without needing a restart of the game. Sadly, the long loading times are a definite weakness of the game, as it can take ages to load maps, even with an SSD.

Fans will be happy to know that we did not encounter any graphical issues, such as bugs or crashes, during our testing. There were some problems with changing the resolution (due to wrong scaling, the mouse did not work properly). These issues could be remedied with a restart of the game. Civilization VI can be started in DirectX 12, but this typically led to worse performance for us. As such, we ran our tests with the DirectX 11 mode. A note about the anti-aliasing: the game supports MSAA, which is light on many GPUs.

Benchmark

Keeping with tradition, Civilization VI includes an in-game graphics benchmark, which runs for 40 seconds (including the "Warm-up Phase"). This benchmark measures the frame rate and frame times. Sadly, at the end of the benchmark, the report only includes an average of the latter.

The procedure to determine the average fps is a little awkward. The user will have to go to the benchmark file in the Documents folder in Windows (see screenshot #2). This file must be opened and the detailed frame rates must be calculated together (see screenshot #3). We will be using FRAPS to determine the average fps (see video).

Results

If you have a cheap office or multimedia notebook with a processor integrated graphics chip, you will need to run Civilization at minimal details and/or resolutions. The Intel HD Graphics 4600 was only able to produce 31 fps with a resolution of 1024x768 pixels and minimal details. This was sufficient for the turn-based strategy game. At a resolution of 1366x768 pixels and medium settings, the game needs a dedicated GPU like the GeForce 940MX or better.

For FHD and high settings, the gamer needs a powerful CPU and GPU. The "Medium" preset runs well starting from a GeForce GTX 950M, whereas the "High" preset requires a GeForce GTX 960M. The "Ultra" preset needs a GeForce GTX 965M or better. 4K fans will be looking for a GeForce GTX 970M or stronger to run this game.

Verdict: Civilization VI runs on almost every system (to a certain extent) and does not need a GeForce GTX 1080 or GTX 1070 to run at max settings (like a few other modern games). However, this game is demanding and, considering the visuals it offers, the fps should be higher.

Other systems (Intel, AMD, etc.) will be added in the near future.

I discovered my interest in computers in my childhood, growing up with MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 in the early 1990s. I was especially fascinated with computer games, even from an early age. From Monkey Island through Lands of Lore to Doom, I tried every game I could get my hands on. I have been working for Notebookcheck since 2009 with my focus mostly being on high-performance gaming laptops.

Legend
5	Stutters – This game is very likely to stutter and have poor frame rates. Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, average frame rates are expected to fall below 25fps
	May Stutter – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, stutters and poor frame rates are expected.
30	Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 25fps
40	Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 35fps
60	Fluent – Based on all known benchmarks using the specified graphical settings, this game should run at or above 58fps
	May Run Fluently – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game. Based on interpolated information from surrounding graphics cards of similar performance levels, fluent frame rates are expected.
?	Uncertain – This graphics card experienced unexpected performance issues during testing for this game. A slower card may be able to achieve better and more consistent frame rates than this particular GPU running the same benchmark scene.
	Uncertain – This graphics card has not been explicitly tested on this game and no reliable interpolation can be made based on the performances of surrounding cards of the same class or family.
The value in the fields displays the average frame rate of all values in the database. Move your cursor over the value to see individual results.
