Can a AMD Radeon 890M run Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI?
The AMD Radeon 890M falls below the minimum requirement for Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI, and its 0GB of VRAM is under the 1GB the game asks for. Expect it to run poorly or refuse to launch.
High preset, upscaling off, paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D-class processor.
How the AMD Radeon 890M measures up

Recommended settings
For 60 FPS at 1080p
Use the ultra preset. You already clear 60 FPS on high, so this leaves headroom for dips in busy scenes.
At 1440p
Comfortable — around 550 FPS on high.
At 4K
Around 319 FPS on high — genuinely viable.
VRAM headroom
At 0GB you are under the 2GB this game recommends. Lower the texture setting one notch first — it costs the least visual quality per gigabyte saved.

What settings should I use?
Start at the ultra preset at 1080p.
Will my processor hold this back?
These figures assume a processor fast enough not to limit the card. If yours is older, run the bottleneck calculator — this title leans on the GPU, so a modest CPU deficit costs less.
