I just built my first PC, and I thought I had a decent GPU with this Intel card I found online. I'm trying to run Civ VII at standard graphics settings, but the game is really struggling to perform. It's not a graphically demanding game, so I was surprised to see it lagging so much. After checking, I confirmed that my GPU is recognized by my system. I'm left wondering if there's something wrong with the GPU or if it's really incapable of running a modern game like Civ VII at an acceptable frame rate.

Civ 6 is more CPU-intensive rather than GPU-intensive. What's the processor you're using? That could be a factor in the performance issues you're experiencing.
Here's the CPU I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBJDS62N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title. It was recommended on pcpartpicker.
