Extremely accessible and runs on almost anything. It is single-threaded with negligible GPU load. However, installing many mods can increase RAM usage to 2-4GB.
This game has a built-in FPS cap of 60 FPS
Actual FPS may vary based on RAM speed, background processes, and other system factors
Performance Report
At 1080p, frame rates range from 55 to 66 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 50 to 62 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 37 to 48 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) is 1067% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 460) for Stardew Valley. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 160% above the recommended CPU (Core i3).
The GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has additional frame-generation headroom.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) sets the ceiling at about 24 FPS, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has headroom up to 74 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 68% (FPS gap: 50 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 12/12 cells, CPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D frame-generation potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 55% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 34% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | GPU Limits CPU 54% | GPU Limits CPU 53% | GPU Limits CPU 58% | GPU Limits CPU 37% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | GPU Limits CPU 64% | GPU Limits CPU 65% | GPU Limits CPU 68% | GPU Limits CPU 55% |
We estimate the maximum FPS the processor can sustain and the maximum FPS the graphics card can sustain in each setting, then compare those limits directly.
Limit Factor formula: (stronger - weaker) / stronger. Example: if CPU ceiling is 200 FPS and GPU ceiling is 140 FPS, then GPU limits CPU by 30%.
CPU Limits GPU means the processor ceiling is lower. GPU Limits CPU means the graphics ceiling is lower. Balanced means the FPS ceilings are close enough that the gap is negligible.
A component can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. The displayed percentages are derived from FPS ceilings, not generic utilization heuristics.

The Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) will struggle to run Stardew Valley at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 55 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
Price data is not currently available for this combination. In general, look for setups where the CPU and GPU are balanced — this ensures you're not overspending on one component that the other can't keep up with.
Your GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) is already a top-tier graphics card. While it's technically the limiting factor here (which means you are fully utilizing your GPU's visual horsepower exactly as intended), there is no meaningful upgrade path that would drastically improve your Stardew Valley performance right now. GPU fully utilized at: 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 1440p ultra, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Stardew Valley does not currently support Frame Generation technologies like DLSS 3 or FSR 3. Your performance is based entirely on native rendering. If the game adds support in a future update, newer GPUs will benefit the most.
Stardew Valley requires at minimum a Core 2 Duo (CPU) and GeForce 7 series (GPU) with 2 GB RAM and 500 MB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core i3 and GeForce GTX 460 with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 1080 SLI (móvel) both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Stardew Valley FPS results are not arbitrary numbers. They come from calculations informed by thousands of real gaming benchmarks, and the typical accuracy range is around 10% to 15%. That makes them far more useful than generic FPS calculators that simply invent values without a benchmark foundation. Actual in-game performance can still vary with drivers, updates, RAM configuration, cooling, and the exact scene being rendered.
Performance estimates are based on synthetic benchmarks and hardware capabilities.
Results may vary based on drivers, OS, and background processes.
