Yes Kingdoms of Amalur is surprisingly hungry.
But I find it really pushes a system CPU & GPU .
lots of efficient performance even on an older Computer.

As for Civ V this is an 'known Issue' is well covered back in the thread 
here
"What Strategy Game For An Action & RPG Gamer ?"
starting on 24 Feb.

Look for Andrew Rybenkov posts there.

Due incompetence of Firaxis programmers (who mastered DirectX API, but had 
no idea
about optimizations, and general programming techniques as well),
running Civ5 practically is the same as running Furmark/Kombuster hour after
hour. Quite a few gamers learnt it in hard way, forced to replace their 
untimely
died video cards.

So before running Civ5 (install and )launch MSI Afterburner. It will show 
you
FPS and GPU temperature during playing.
In game's video options:
set V-Sync ON,
set Fog of War to MINIMUM.
Begin to play, look at the temperature from time to time. If it is in normal 
range
and fans noise do not annoy you, keep playing and enjoy."<<<<
