Post your AI benchmark score

[MrMorph]

Hi there,

I've recently discovered AI benchmark, that is measuring how much time ai turns take. It would be great, if we could post here our results, as it might be useful for those that are thinking about upgrading their computers.

You can find Benchmark in game's main menu.

Cpu: i5-2700k
GPU: AMD Radeon 6800
Ram: 8gb
Result: 27 seconds

Good idea, but it will vary a lot with the number of civs and CS,
whether you play with barbarians on or off, etc.
Do you want results for 33 civs and 28 city-states on ludicrous (200x100)
maps, or just standard maps?

Before 3 patches ago it was 23s
2 Patches ago it was 21s
doid not check last patch

I guess he is talking about the Benchmark test from the main menu.

CPU: i7-7700k
GPU: GTX 1070
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz
Result: 13.03s

With the same system setup, I've got 16.85s, a few months ago before R&F. So almost 4 seconds it's a good improvement.

Result: 15.99 seconds

Edit: Seems to vary from 13 to 16 seconds. Might be because I run in windowed mode.

Thanks for suggestions guys! I have edited main post, so it might be more clear for the others.

It's good to know that when I finally get around to upgrade my system I will get to take off a few seconds from the turn times.

I'm surprised it's this good because my CPU is quite old. Oh well, I knew there was no reason to upgrade.

Anyone with Ryzen processor playing Civ, could post his results as well ?

A bit disapointed...I'd like to be under 15s. Any tips to improve ?

Doesn't the Benchmark tool use your current graphics settings to perform it's tests? So two people with the same CPU & GPU, but different graphics settings would have different turn times.

 

[SammyKhalifa]

maybe i'll try this when I get home. Didn't even know it was a thing. It seems faster post-expansion to me but that's just based on memory and no numbers.

Looks like i7 hyperthreading is used well in CIV 6.

That's a good question actually. For the sake of a comparable benchmark I'd assume it's the same settings for everybody but that might be wrong.

It's been about a year since I remember reading about the graphics settings, but the more I think about it I believe I'm mistaken. It was the Graphics Benchmark that depended on the graphics settings not the AI Benchmark.

I thought I overbuilt when I put this together a few years ago but I guess it's still holding up (aver an overdue video card change).

RAM 24 GB
Result 14.39
2nd Run - Graphics set to max performance
Result 14.08
3rd Run - Graphics set to max quality
Result 14.53

To answer the question about graphics settings effecting the results I ran two more tests. The first (2nd run) I went with highest performance possible (all settings turned down or unchecked). The second (3rd run) I went with max quality (all settings checked and highest option selected). My original test was with animated leaders [medium], terrain quality [medium - performance optimized], and high-quality visual effects [low]. All sets had vertical sync checked.

As you can see between the max performance and max quality I only had a difference of 0.45 or an increase of 3.09% when running on the highest quality possible.
