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 61 FPS. At 1440p, all settings exceed 67 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 58 to 73 FPS.
The Quadro P2000 Max-Q is 870% above the recommended GPU (GeForce 9600 GT) for Terraria. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 1465% above the recommended CPU (Core 2 Duo).
At lower resolutions (all 1080p settings, 1440p (low/medium/high), 4k low), the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the FPS ceiling. As graphical load increases at (1440p ultra, 4k (high/ultra)), the Quadro P2000 Max-Q becomes the FPS-limiting side. The FPS ceiling is closely matched at 4k medium.
This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 1080p low, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D sets the ceiling at about 103 FPS, while the Quadro P2000 Max-Q could reach 187 FPS. In this scenario, the CPU limits the GPU potential by 45% (FPS gap: 84 FPS). Overall distribution: CPU limits 8/12 cells, GPU limits 3/12, balanced 1/12.
Your Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the limiting side in the heaviest mismatch. This means part of the Quadro P2000 Max-Q rendering potential remains unused in those settings.
| Resolution | Low | Medium | High | Ultra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p (Full HD) | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 45% | CPU Limits GPU 36% | CPU Limits GPU 14% |
| 1440p (2K QHD) | CPU Limits GPU 37% | CPU Limits GPU 28% | CPU Limits GPU 11% | GPU Limits CPU 15% |
| 4K (Ultra HD) | CPU Limits GPU 13% | Balanced | GPU Limits CPU 24% | GPU Limits CPU 42% |
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 + Quadro P2000 Max-Q pairing runs this title with CPU utilization between 0% and 18% and GPU utilization between 0% and 15%. Ryzen 7 7800X3D keeps significant headroom across presets, while Quadro P2000 Max-Q is utilized efficiently without persistent saturation. As resolution scales, average GPU load rises from 5% at 1080p to 9% at 4K, while CPU averages move from 6% to 5%.
Neither component is close to saturation: CPU tops out at 18% and GPU at 15%. This pattern suggests possible engine-side limits, an FPS cap, or workload constraints unrelated to raw hardware throughput. It also shows why low utilization does not automatically mean there is no FPS limiter.
At 1080p, averages sit around CPU 6% and GPU 5%. At 1440p, that shifts to CPU 9% and GPU 4%, and at 4K it reaches CPU 5% and GPU 9%. This shows that workload scaling is limited, which can indicate engine-side constraints.
4K (Ultra HD) Low is the most balanced preset based on this dataset. It runs around CPU 6% (2-11%) and GPU 10% (5-15%), which keeps Quadro P2000 Max-Q well utilized without constant max-out behavior while Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains stable for consistent frame delivery.
Current utilization does not show an urgent upgrade requirement for either component; the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Quadro P2000 Max-Q remain reasonably matched for this title.
Understanding Hardware Utilization: These percentages represent how much of your component's maximum processing power is actively being used during gameplay. They describe hardware load, but they do not directly tell you which component sets the FPS ceiling.
Important: a CPU or GPU can still be the FPS limiter without reaching 100% utilization. Two processors can both show 40% usage and still deliver very different frame rates, depending on per-core speed, cache, engine threading, driver overhead, and frame preparation efficiency.

Yes, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with the Quadro P2000 Max-Q can run Terraria smoothly up to 1440p achieving around 67 FPS at Ultra quality. Your GPU is 870% above the recommended specs, and your CPU is 1465% above the recommended requirements.
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.
For Terraria, upgrading the CPU would have the biggest impact on performance. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently the limiting factor — the Quadro P2000 Max-Q 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 low, 1080p medium, 1080p high, 1080p ultra, 1440p low, 1440p medium, 1440p high, 4k low. GPU-limited at: 1440p ultra, 4k high, 4k ultra.
Terraria 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.
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 Quadro P2000 Max-Q 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.
