Civilization VI: Performance Analysis

[gregzeng]

Aye this game has no bussiness being so GPU heavy.

You should do CPU tests as well (2C, 2C/4T, 4C, 4C/8T).

Young persons play this "game" as a simple "shoot & kill" game. It needs GPU-CPU power to provide these thrills.

Personally, and educationally, this "game" is used to teach history, governance & management. Educational institutions use it at Primary, Secondary & Tertiary educational levels. Modern 21st century education must have eye-candy, ear-candy, and seem like "fun". When I used this educational & research tool with Civilization (version 1.0), we were not competing with television, tablets, smartphones, etc. Education is VERY competitive now, unfortunately.

Technical standards are increasing (2K, 4K, 8K video resolution) and financial costs are rapidly decreasing. "Games" like Civilization will once again become permanent best sellers, internationally, for all nationalities. P.S. - I am not rich enough ever, to be a shareholder in any company or organization, so I have no bias to this particular software item.

Seriously, they use it in schools? Will new generations seriously remember Gandhi as a nuke-mongering warlord?

Any idea how to run it with GTX 280?

W1zz, will we get a DX12 comparison?

 

[TheGuruStud]

wait. this is GE titles right? Fury X only performing on GTX1060 level? Fury X should at least match 980ti performance in DX11 while being much more faster in DX12. or did AMD simply ignore DX11 optimization altogether?

It's not the gpu manuf. job to fix their broken games, but they have to do it, anyway.

So far my 290X Tri-X OC seems to like DX12 just fine. With 16.11.4 frame-rates are almost identical and the AI turn time is about 9% faster with DX12.
