Hey, I understand Civ 5 is a CPU-heavy title, but I haven’t found any benchmarks for late-game turn changes. If you own an i7 processor (and a GTX 980 or higher) and have played Civ 5, Stellaris, or Hearts of Iron 4, could you let me know your average FPS during late-game turns? Right now on my Mac Pro 2013, these games feel very sluggish—often under 10 FPS, sometimes much lower. I’m planning to upgrade to a GTX 1080 Ti soon, but I also have an i7 5820k. I’d love to hear how Civ 5 performs with that setup.

My device runs smoothly at 60 FPS consistently. Performance drops only in late stages when you trigger a new action, causing a brief slowdown of around five seconds.

A late-game decision usually requires just a few moments, though it can feel frustrating and difficult.

Sure, I’ll keep it simple. Do your games finish with massive numbers and weapons, and are they played in multiplayer mode?

That's correct, a simple game often turns into a frustratingly long process. I believe the Mac graphics card and processor are problematic.

On an eight-player map, a single turn can last around 25 seconds, reaching up to 45 seconds for more intricate routes. (About 250 turns in total)

It still requires some time even with the latest CPU models. The frames don’t flow smoothly—watching feels like scrolling through a slide deck. Are you able to reach more than 60 frames per second in one full game run?

In those 45 seconds of turning, I maintain 60 frames per second, except possibly for a few moments where the rate drops slightly. (There are sometimes two brief interruptions within that time, though they're rare.)
