Recommended settings

Upscaling — FSRBalanced+55% FPS

Civilization VII supports DLSS and FSR. A nice boost, though a turn-based strategy game rarely needs huge frame rates.

Shadow QualityLow+9% FPS

Shadow resolution across the map. High is the value pick over Ultra.

Terrain DetailLow+8% FPS

Detail of the world map tiles and geometry. High is a clean trade.

MSAAOff+8% FPS

Hardware edge smoothing - heavy at higher steps. 2x is plenty; 8x tanks FPS for little gain.

Water QualityLow+6% FPS

Ocean and river water simulation and reflection detail. Medium/High is plenty.

Particle QualityLow+5% FPS

Effects, weather and combat particles across the map. Medium is a safe trim in busy late-game turns.

Reflection QualityOff+5% FPS

Screen-space reflections on water. Medium is plenty.

Ambient OcclusionOff+5% FPS

Soft contact shadows for depth on the map. Medium is a cheap, good-looking option.

BloomOff+3% FPS

Glow around bright lights. Cheap; set to taste.

Texture DetailUltra-1% FPS

Surface sharpness - cheap if it fits your VRAM.
