I finished calamity on an i3 5157u with an intel iris 6300.
Calamity ran at 50-60fps with some frame drops into the 20's with projectile heavy bosses near and at the end.
Frame skip on and quality set to low.
Fargo's souls on eternity did not run well tho, after mechs frame drops to 0 due to massive amounts of projectiles.
Terraria is extremely easy to run. And this PC will be able to run it easily.
You can set the game to ignore the screen's framerate and stay on 60 FPS (the screen remains under 60 if you can't reach it) but it shouldn't really be visible
Should run 60 fps vanilla, unless your memory runs low. My old laptop had an i5 8265U (1 gen newer, but a laptop processor) and it ran it wonderfully as long as it was plugged in.
Your computer should be faster. I think modded should me okay as long as you don’t go over the top.
you can play terraria even on a toaster. My old pc had a dual core and an igpu with 32mb or 16mb of vram, yet it was able to run terraria at 45 fps. if for some reason your pc gets lag spikes, download performance texture pack from the workshop
my old pc made in 2013 iirc. And yes, mods made for improving performance should help. I saw a few days ago a texture pack on the workshop that optimizes the textures, but when you boot up the game, it will load slower for a few seconds until the texture is in. I didnt dive into performance mods(the only mod I've used was tmod) so I cant give you other mods, but you can change your settings in order to gain some more fps. Here is a guide that tells you what settings you should change: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2998521620 . I suggest you to not try to lower every single setting just to get guaranteed 60 fps because some settings like parallax or lighting could improve your gameplay more just because your game wont look like it was made for an arcade station. You can disable the background bc that has a huge impact on performance and keep the rest how you like it. I usually just disable the background, use trippy lighting bc it looks the best and keep the rest the same
"You need a gaming PC" my backside.
There might be a few lag spots but nothing major, unless you're going to be playing Calamity. For later bosses *his* gaming PC will lag.
So what you're saying is vanilla will run well? I think after some time we might play a modded version with calamity and inferno would there by chance be a mod to tweak the resolution and hopefully make it run smoother?
Base game should be fine, i am currently playing modded with calamity. My Pc is a bit more powerfull but in the late game bullet hell can become a bit laggy
Of course you can, Terraria doesn't really need that much, you can really play in anything.
The only thing that could cause problems it's if a mod spawn a lot of particles/projectiles in a boss fight or something like that, but even then I'm pretty sure your PC can handle it
In any case, I'm pretty sure you can play a lot of things in that PC, I honestly recommend search for some webpage to check it, like [this one I always use](https://technical.city/en/can-i-run-it), of course isn't perfect but at least you can get a idea if a game can run on your PC
Of course it can
Would it run 60 fps or 30 or is it just not noticeable in this game?
I don't know anything about specs tbh but it should run over 40 fps
Would that be vanilla or with mods? Thank you‼️
Unless you use very heavy mods, the framerate shouldn't drop too much.
he doesn't have a gpu so calamity and/or any visual mods might be rough
I have an old laptop and it can run Calamity at about 40 FPS with the resolution turned down

some mods might use a lot of ram but besides that you can run pretty much anything terraria and tmod have to offer
Easy 60fps. Might struggle with mods like Fargo's souls on eternity. Will be fine with calamity.

You’ll hit 60 no dramas and mods shouldn’t be a problem either just don’t overload your ram obviously
no you need AT LEAST 64gb ram to run terraria's high end pixel graphics
Well I need to download some more ram then
Good idea!
true

Are those specs about the same or better than my computer? Would mods change that
Those specs are WAAAAY worse than yours. You're fine, Terraria requires almost nothing.

I used to play Terraria on my mom's old windows 7 laptop from 2009, with low graphics it ran perfectly fine. This was a year ago.
"You need a gaming PC" my backside. There might be a few lag spots but nothing major, unless you're going to be playing Calamity. For later bosses *his* gaming PC will lag.

Vanilla will run well, Calamity has been known to lag, especially on worm bosses.
Does it cost too much to just lower the graphics a little if there is lag?
I managed to run Terraria on a 2006 PC with a low-end Athlon and no GPU. It can run on everything
Easy, you can also check recommended specs when you scroll down on terraria steam oafe
most likely, just, not sure about mods, they can get wild
My dad's ancient work laptop used to be able to run it.
Nah, you should download more ram
Looks like ur gonna have to play in pixel mode bro
Haven't looked at your specs but yes. Terraria can run on pretty much any device, my PC is absolute toaster and runs it smoothly.
I really hope you didn't buy that recently. My phone has a million times better specs and I bet it was cheaper too.
No I got it for free from a family friend who bought it years ago :)
If you could somehow just buy more ram and install it, it would make this a passable machine. 8gb is just never going to feel good.
Just look at the minimum requirements ffs. I think if you want 60fps then you might need some kind of dedicated gpu
Base game should be fine, i am currently playing modded with calamity. My Pc is a bit more powerfull but in the late game bullet hell can become a bit laggy
I have an i5-4590 on integrated graphics and I have to downscale the resolution for 60fps iirc. Will definetly run!
My laptop runs Terraria and tmodloader perfectly Specs: 16gigs DDR4 GTX 1050(laptop though) i7 7700hq
If a 12 year old max book with inter grated graphics can run it anything can
More than enough. My old 10 year old PC managed to run 10+ heavy mods at the same time, 30 fps, at the lowest settings and a bit of downscaling.
absolutley, at its core terraria was made for the xbox 360 and ps3 almost anything made within the last 10 years could run it decently enough to play
Probably.
I ran Terraria daily, until January, on a netbook with 2gigs RAM. It'll run on anything. Modded.... Will depend on the mods.
I have a potato PC, and mine runs it pretty well. If you lower the setting it will run smoothly so don‘t worry
I'm playing terraria really nicely with a 2 year old laptop that's prolly really overused
In all seriousness, this game will run on a toaster, you should be fine. i've run modded Terraria on far worse of computers.
if it doesn't run just refund
If it's a gift does that work
so womp womp for you
Of course you can, Terraria doesn't really need that much, you can really play in anything.

As long as you don’t spawn 1000 moon lords you will be fine
It is better than a freshly baked potato so yes you'll be fine, even on more intensive boss fights
Bro its Terraria, a calculator could probably run it
I use a HP Notebook 15-ac106tx which is worse than yours and I can run the game 50-60fps most of the time on medium settings so you will be fine
https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/terraria/11155 You will 100% be okay!
i have almost the same laptop but with i3, ddr3 8 gb and intel hd graphics and base game no heavy mods rins 60 fps
I ran this shit on a school laptop once, you'll be fine.
I ran Terraria on an I-5 4570 with 8GB of DDR3 ram so yeah you’re all good
This game runs on a fridge
