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 46 to 62 FPS. At 4K, frame rates range from 31 to 48 FPS.
The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q is 21% above the recommended GPU (GeForce GTX 460) for Stardew Valley. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is 160% above the recommended CPU (Core i3).
The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q 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.
Approximated average price on current market:
Combo price: $8949. At 1080p Ultra, this combo delivers 55 FPS, equivalent to 0.01 FPS per dollar.

This section is based on estimated CPU/GPU FPS ceilings, not utilization percentages.
At 4k high, the RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q 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 RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q 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 RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q 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.
This CPU + GPU combo costs approximately $8949 ($384 CPU + $8565 GPU). Since the GPU is the main limiting factor, investing in a stronger GPU will improve your framerates and overall value. For example, upgrading to the RTX 2000 Ada Generation Embedded GPU (Rank #6 for value) could deliver noticeably better performance.
For Stardew Valley, upgrading the GPU would give you the most noticeable improvement. The RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q is the limiting factor here, while the Ryzen 7 7800X3D still has spare capacity. A more powerful GPU would unlock higher FPS, especially at higher resolutions and quality presets. GPU-limited 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 RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell DC-12Q 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.
