Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit
Even Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics reaches the game's 60 FPS cap at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
No measured limit
We couldn't place the publisher's processor requirement ("Dual Core 3.0 Ghz") on our scale. We have no measured processor limit for Terraria, so the frame rates on this page assume your processor isn't holding the graphics card back.
Video memory (VRAM)
128 MB min · 256 MB rec
The minimum spec lists 128 MB of video memory and the recommended spec 256 MB, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
Settings to lower first in Terraria
- 1Nothing, once you reach the 60 FPS cap. Terraria's physics are tied to its frame rate, so don't force it higher; spend spare performance on higher settings or resolution instead.
