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 57 to 75 FPS depending on quality settings. At 1440p, frame rates range from 44 to 48 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 37 to 41 FPS.
The GeForce RTX 4090 is 1575% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 460) for Stardew Valley. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G is 49% above the recommended CPU (Core i3).
Stardew Valley supports: AFMF. This game does not have native DLSS 3 or FSR 3 Frame Generation support. AFMF is AMD-exclusive and not compatible with GeForce RTX 4090.
The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G sets the FPS ceiling at 1080p ultra, while the GeForce RTX 4090 still has headroom. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 1080p (low/medium/high), all 1440p settings, all 4k settings.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $1795. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 57 FPS, equivalent to 0.03 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the GeForce RTX 4090 sets the ceiling at about 36 FPS, while the Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G has headroom up to 44 FPS. In this scenario, the GPU limits the CPU potential by 18% (FPS gap: 8 FPS). Overall distribution: GPU limits 1/12 cells, CPU limits 1/12, balanced 10/12.
The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G and GeForce RTX 4090 stay close in effective frame-generation ceiling across most presets, so neither side consistently suppresses the other by a large margin.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | CPU Limits GPU 17% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced | Balanced |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | Balanced | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 18% | Balanced |
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 5 PRO 5655G and GeForce RTX 4090 will struggle to run Stardew Valley at smooth framerates. At 1080p Ultra, you can expect around 57 FPS which is classified as "playable". Consider lowering settings or upgrading your hardware.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $1795 ($146 CPU (Rank #89 Value) + $1649 GPU (Rank #77 Value)). Since the CPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger processor will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, the Ryzen 9 9950X is a great upgrade option for around $649 (Rank #5 for value).
For Stardew Valley, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 5 PRO 5655G is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce RTX 4090 has extra headroom that a faster processor could take advantage of. This is especially noticeable at 1080p where CPU performance matters more. CPU-limited at: 1080p ultra.
Stardew Valley currently only supports AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) for frame generation, which is an AMD-exclusive technology. Because you are using an NVIDIA GPU, you cannot use Frame Generation for this specific game.
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 5 PRO 5655G and GeForce RTX 4090 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.
