Sid Meier’s Civilization VI on GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU
Yes. The GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU is well above Sid Meier’s Civilization VI's recommended spec. We estimate ~173 fps at 1080p high (range 139–208, medium confidence, ±20%), GPU-limited. At 1440p high expect ~121 fps, so every preset holds 60 fps. Its 8 GB of video memory covers the 2 GB the game recommends. Model estimate, not measured; data updated 2026-09-24.
Estimated FPS by preset
| Preset | 1080p | 1440p | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|
| low | 295 | 206 | 124 |
| medium | 225 | 158 | 95 |
| high | 173 | 121 | 73 |
| ultra | 139 | 97 | 58 |
Estimated FPS from our model (v0), based on the game's published requirements and relative GPU/CPU performance. Not measured. Real results vary with drivers, patches, and scenes. Values above 300 fps show as 300+. Data updated 2026-09-24.
Best settings
- 60 fps at 1080p: ultra preset
- 60 fps at 1440p: ultra preset
- 144 fps at 1080p: high preset
NVIDIA RTX card: turn on DLSS in quality mode before dropping the preset; FSR and XeSS also work if the game lacks DLSS.
What limits performance
- Estimates above: GPU-limited, assuming a processor fast enough not to hold the GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU back.
- Processor needed for ~173 fps: Ryzen 3 3300X or faster (slowest current desktop CPU our model expects to keep up).
- With the recommended CPU (FX-8350): CPU-limited at 1080p high: about 90 fps instead of 173.
Video memory
- GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU: 8 GB
- Minimum spec: 1 GB (+7 GB headroom)
- Recommended spec: 2 GB (+6 GB headroom)
