We run our Civ6 benchmark in position four for performance (ultra) and 0 on memory, with MSAA set to 2x.įor reviews where we include 8K and 16K benchmarks (Civ6 allows us to benchmark extreme resolutions on any monitor) on our GTX 1080, we run the 8K tests similar to the 4K tests, but the 16K tests are set to the lowest option for Performance.Īll of our benchmark results can also be found in our benchmark engine, Bench. ![]() The latter two refer to detail and texture size respectively, and are rated between 0 (lowest) to 5 (extreme). Civilization 6 has sliders for MSAA, Performance Impact and Memory Impact. Instead, we run the graphics test, which provides an example of a mid-game setup at our settings.Īt both 1920x1080 and 4K resolutions, we run the same settings. The new version of Civilization has an integrated ‘AI Benchmark’, although it is not currently part of our benchmark portfolio yet, due to technical reasons which we are trying to solve. Perhaps a more poignant benchmark would be during the late game, when in the older versions of Civilization it could take 20 minutes to cycle around the AI players before the human regained control. ![]() As a result, Civilization can taxing on graphics and CPUs as we crank up the details, especially in DirectX 12. With Civilization 6 however, Firaxis went hardcore on visual fidelity, trying to pull you into the game. Truth be told I never actually played the first version, but every edition from the second to the sixth, including the fourth as voiced by the late Leonard Nimoy, it a game that is easy to pick up, but hard to master.īenchmarking Civilization has always been somewhat of an oxymoron – for a turn based strategy game, the frame rate is not necessarily the important thing here and even in the right mood, something as low as 5 frames per second can be enough. Originally penned by Sid Meier and his team, the Civ series of turn-based strategy games are a cult classic, and many an excuse for an all-nighter trying to get Gandhi to declare war on you due to an integer overflow. The full release is happening on September 21, but you knew that already.First up in our CPU gaming tests is Civilization 6. If, like me, you think you might just barely be able to scrape by here, remember that a demo for Civ V is in the works. Video: 512 MB ATI 4800 series or better, 512 MB nVidia 9800 series or better Operating System: Windows Vista SP2/ Windows 7 Sound: DirectX 9.0c-compatible sound card Video: 256 MB ATI HD2600 XT or better, 256 MB nVidia 7900 GS or better, or Core i3 or better integrated graphics Operating System: Windows XP SP3/ Windows Vista SP2/ Windows 7ĭVD-ROM Drive: Required for disc-based installation Civilization V surely qualifies, wouldn’t you say? Plus, quite a few of you guys have been asking for the game’s specs throughout these past few weeks. We don’t usually post system requirements unless we’re dealing with a major PC release.
