Recommended settings
Upscaling — FSRQuality+35% FPS
Civilization VII supports DLSS and FSR. A nice boost, though a turn-based strategy game rarely needs huge frame rates.
Texture DetailUltra-1% FPS
Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
Shadow QualityHighbaseline
Shadow resolution across the map. High is the value pick over Ultra.
Terrain DetailHighbaseline
Detail of the world map tiles and geometry. High is a clean trade.
Water QualityHighbaseline
Ocean and river water simulation and reflection detail. Medium/High is plenty.
Particle QualityHighbaseline
Effects, weather and combat particles across the map. Medium is a safe trim in busy late-game turns.
Reflection QualityMediumbaseline
Screen-space reflections on water. Medium is plenty.
Ambient OcclusionMediumbaseline
Soft contact shadows for depth on the map. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.
BloomOnbaseline
Glow around bright lights. Cheap; set to taste.
MSAA2xbaseline
Hardware edge smoothing - heavy at higher steps. 2x is plenty; 8x tanks FPS for little gain.
