On a Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) (paired with a balanced Intel Core i5-8600K-class CPU), Sid Meier’s Civilization VII runs at roughly 62 FPS at 1080p with our optimized settings — up from about 62FPS with everything maxed. Here's the configuration and what each setting costs.
The Intel Arc A370M (laptop, 4GB) is a entry-level graphics card with 4GB of VRAM, and Sid Meier’s Civilization VII is a relatively light game to run. Paired with the Intel Core i5-8600K, it runs well at 1080p — about 62 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 62 FPS at 1080p and 62 FPS at 1440p, dropping to roughly 50 FPS at 4K. The biggest free win is XeSS upscaling — set it to Quality for a large FPS boost at little visual cost.
| Resolution | All-High FPS | Optimized FPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 62 | 62 |
| 1440p | 37 | 62 |
| 4K | 21 | 50 |
