I happened to be ready for a new laptop this year anyway, and with Civ VI on its way, I decided to splurge a bit

I was looking at some new equipment, the HP windows 10 mobile.
Any idea whether it would be able to play Civ 6?

I want to be able to play the new game, and willing to buy new tablet/pc to play it.
I have android phone and tablet, but I was disappointed years ago, that it would not play windows games.

Dont buy this to play games. Period. Its a business tool.

For gaming you have 3 options.

Buy a good desktop sacrificing mobility for performance.
Buy an expansive gaming laptop.
Buy a mainstream laptop and be okay having mediocre performances.

Turn times in Civ V have always been terrible for me. They start off poor in the early game, and in the late game they can become excruciatingly long. Civ IV, in comparison, has much faster turn times. Has anything been revealed on the turn times for Civ VI? Can we expect them to be faster?

The big question for me is... IS THIS A 64 BIT GAME?

I don't think we have answers on either of those yet.

Hi everybody,

First thread ever posted on Civfanatics, so first of all, I want to thank everybody in the community for the good job of gathering and sharing information.

I´d like to take advantage of Civ VI coming up this year to buy a new laptop, my current personal laptop being 7 years old and not functionning anymore

The new ROG G701 certainly drew my attention, 4k screen, g-sync technology, GeForce 980, ultimate generation i7 processor, directx12, the whole deal, sounds really good. The price tag however isn´t that cool, and I will certainly not spend $3800 that I don´t have in a laptop

Therefore I would like to get you guys´ advice on what you think are solid specs to fully enjoy the CIV VI experience for years to come

Thanks!

In that price range, you may want to check out Falcon Northwest at https://www.falcon-nw.com/. I'm sure they will have Nvidia 1070 and 1080 systems out later this year.

i would suggest Windows 8 or better. and $1200- $1300 is an ideal price for a top of the line machine. Anything over would be paying too much. Just my opinion of course.

If you have an older Nvidia GPU, you can check this list to see if DirectX 12 is supported:

Yes it is & it will also come on dx12. You could check Arioch's website for more info.

Not this again... Yes, it's 64-bit and multithreaded.

 

[AriochIV]

Performance-related questions won't (and can't) be answered until there is a release candidate build for the game.

64-bit won't affect performance in terms of speed.

I really hope that there will be full support for UHD.

I paid $1399 US for this one

IMHO, Firaxis should disclose the system requirements, since it's accepting (and encouraging) pre-orders.

It's a safe bet to assume that any slightly gaming oriented rig will be enough to play CiVI comfortably. Graphic card requirement will probably be the less important component there considering CIV games arent that demanding here.

I think one of the best investment for a CiV game is an SSD based computer.

with the current summer discounts, i grabbd a laptop with an SSD\HDD combo, 8 Gig Ram (will extend), I7 6XXXX whatever and a GTM 960 for 800 euros or so. And i think the 960M is over the top for CiVI

Very much this.

SSD in CiV does not make much difference in loading times. I moved my CiV folder from SSD to HDD to save some place for other games that can use it better.

I tweeted the official civi tweeter account about this. They answered that they re finalizing the specs
