Verdict: STRUGGLING
The Intel Iris Xe Graphics may struggle to deliver a smooth gaming experience in Sid Meier's Civilization VII, particularly at 1080p resolution. Players can expect an estimated FPS of around 20-30 in medium settings, which may lead to a less enjoyable gameplay. The integrated GPU is likely to bottleneck during intense scenarios, causing lag and stuttering.
✅ Pros & ❌ Cons
- Integrated graphics allow for basic gameplay without a dedicated GPU.
- Lower power consumption compared to discrete graphics cards.
- Limited performance may hinder the experience, especially in late-game scenarios.
Recommended Settings
- Lower the resolution to 720p to improve frame rates.
