A classic 2D sandbox. While generally light, heavy boss fights and fluid physics can slow down older CPUs. It requires Shader Model 2.0 support.
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, all quality settings exceed 62 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 61 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 57 to 61 FPS.
The GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is 2558% above the recommended GPU (GeForce 9600 GT) for Terraria. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 1465% above the recommended CPU (Core 2 Duo).
Terraria 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 GTX 1070 Ti.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling at all 1080p settings, all 1440p settings, all 4k settings, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti still has headroom.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $483. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 62 FPS, equivalent to 0.13 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p medium, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 102 FPS, while the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti could reach 160 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 36% (FPS gap: 58 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 12/12 cells, GPU limits 0/12, balanced 0/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 35% | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 36% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 27% | CPU Limits GPU 29% | CPU Limits GPU 30% | CPU Limits GPU 29% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 23% | CPU Limits GPU 24% | CPU Limits GPU 25% | CPU Limits GPU 25% |
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.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti can run Terraria smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 61 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 2558% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 1465% above the recommended requirements.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $483 ($384 CPU (Rank #212 Value) + $99 GPU). 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 Terraria, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 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 high, 1080p low, 1080p medium, 1080p ultra, 1440p high, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k low, 4k medium, 4k ultra.
Terraria supports AFMF, but your GeForce GTX 1070 Ti is not compatible with these technologies. Frame Generation is typically available on newer GPUs like the RTX 40-series (DLSS 3) or modern AMD cards (FSR 3).
Terraria requires at minimum a Pentium 4 (CPU) and GeForce FX 5900 (GPU) with 2.5 GB RAM and 200 MB storage. For the recommended experience, you need a Core 2 Duo and GeForce 9600 GT with 4 GB RAM. Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D and GeForce GTX 1070 Ti both exceed the recommended specs, so you're well-positioned for a great experience.
These Terraria 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.
