Does anyone know the requirements to run this game at 4K?

I've looked for this information but can't seem to find it, only requirements for 1080P. Though I do wonder if my Gefore 1060 3GB has enough VRAM.

Sometimes ago I saw a test with 4K and it was like ~2gb for minimum settings ~4gb for maximum. But there were little differences between 1080p and 4K (~300-400mb) of vram.

I once tested how the game would run on my 2160p tv connected to a laptop with an i7 cpu and geforce 960M with 2GB of vram. Predictably, it was choppy as hell, while it runs smoothly in 1080p.

in 4k it will hit about 6gm vram usage. (between 5-6)

I play in 4k with a 1080.

I run 4k with a i5-4670K and a 980ti.. Benchmark runs at around 30-40 FPS I think...

Sooo I got my 4K UHDTV this morning, set my resolution in Civ VI to 3840 X 2160 and started the benchmark.

After seeing how glorious Civ VI looked in 4K, then I saw that my FPS was 6-7!!! Literally SIX and SEVEN FPS! I was not expecting it to be this bad, after all I can run 1080P very smoothy on max settings. My Geforce GTX 1060 3GB was well and truly flattened.

In July/August Nvidia will release it's 1100's series, if I were to get a GPU with 6GB or 8GB of VRAM could I get at least 40FPS?

EDIT: Just there I actually decided to enter a game I was playing and the framerate was good enough for the game to be playable. Like circa 20FPS.

I can however play Dark Souls Remastered at 4K with a smooth framerate. Maybe because Dark Souls Remastered is largely a last gen game with only some minor graphical upgrades.

And (highly likely) it has less than 3GB VRAM usage?

I set Anti-Aliasing from MSAA 8X to OFF and I got from anywhere from 30FPS to 47FPS in the benchmark. Crazy how setting MSAA to off could have such an impact.

You are aware that the 3GB version on the 1060 isn't a 1060, right?

On my 980TI I would have to wait for the textures to load. Sometimes scroll around the map to get them all loaded. Once loaded everything was fine. My biggest problem, I think, was still turn times because of my 4790k. 1080TI all is better now though I could still use a new CPU.

I run at 2k (3440x2160) on a 32" ultra-wide. Have a 1060 6Gb. Runs fine at max. I know it's not 4k but there is your floor.

I like and appreciate your parameters for a FLOOR definition ...

I run at 2k (3440x2160) on a 32" ultra-wide.

... but still struggle with the given resolution:

3440x2160 would be nearly 'Ultra HD', 3840x2160, in 16:9, (often referred to as 4k - despite not being 4096xXXXX)
ultra-wide aka 21:9 would imply 3440x1440 or 3360x1440

could you please clarify?

3440x1440 are 4953600 pixels
3840x2160 are 8294400 pixels, just nearly double

Sorry, yeah 3440x1440 ultra-wide. Didn't think it was that big of a difference! I can't math sometimes
