On a AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) (paired with a balanced AMD Ryzen 3 3300X-class CPU), Sid Meier’s Civilization VII runs at roughly 101 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 101FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The AMD RX 5500 XT (8GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 8GB of VRAM, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the AMD Ryzen 3 3300X, it runs great at 1080p — about 101 FPSwith FrameCoach's optimized settings. That already clears a smooth frame rate on High, so our tuning keeps the visuals as high as possible instead of chasing extra frames.
Across resolutions you can expect around 101 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 62 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is FSR upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
