Terraria benchmark on RX 9070 XT: FPS by resolution and quality
Pick yours and we recalculate the whole table above with it.
Terraria FPS with a RX 9070 XT and a Intel Core i5-13400
| Quality | 1080p (Full HD) | 1440p (2K) | 4K (Ultra HD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra | 103FPS min 71Good | 85FPS min 65Good | 50FPS min 44Acceptable |
| High | 134FPS min 92Excellent | 110FPS min 84Good | 64FPS min 56Good |
| Medium | 175FPS min 121Excellent | 144FPS min 109Excellent | 84FPS min 74Good |
| Low | 226FPS min 156Excellent | 187FPS min 142Excellent | 109FPS min 95Good |
| Bottleneck (estimated) | CPU 31% | CPU 19% | GPU 20% |
The percentage estimates how much of the stronger component's capability goes unused because of the other one.
This one does matter: from the Intel Core i9-14900K downwards the processor becomes the brake on the RX 9070 XT. There is 16% between the slowest and fastest CPU in the table. One caveat: this is at 1080p, where the CPU weighs most. At 1440p and 4K the graphics card takes over and the processor stops mattering.
FSR performance: FPS with AI upscaling
Upscaling renders Terraria at a lower internal resolution and reconstructs the image, so you trade a little sharpness for extra frames. These are the estimated figures for the RX 9070 XT with FSR enabled, starting from its native Ultra FPS.
| Resolution | Native | FSR Quality | FSR Performance | + Frame generation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | 103 | 129 | 149 | 219 |
| 1440p | 85 | 115 | 140 | 196 |
| 4K | 50 | 73 | 93 | 124 |
Frame generation inserts intermediate frames: it raises the smoothness you see on screen, but it does not reduce input latency, so use it selectively in competitive games.
About ray tracing: every figure on this page is with ray tracing off. The RX 9070 XT does have dedicated hardware for it, so you can turn it on in games that implement it. The FPS cost swings widely depending on how much ray tracing each title uses, and FSR is exactly what people lean on to pay for it.
Estimated figures. The real gain varies by game and by the version of the technology.
Is the CPU or the graphics card holding you back?
These FPS assume a mid-range CPU that isn't a bottleneck — roughly a Intel Core i5-13400 — and 16 GB of RAM.
With that CPU, the RX 9070 XT has headroom to spare in Terraria: the processor runs out before the graphics card does. A faster processor would gain you FPS; a stronger graphics card would barely help. At 4K it flips: there the graphics card becomes the limit.
Is the RX 9070 XT Enough for Terraria?
The RX 9070 XT delivers 103 FPS at 1080p Ultra in Terraria. Enough for a smooth 60 FPS experience. For 144Hz, lower the quality to High.
At 1440p it gets 85 FPS and at 4K 50 FPS at Ultra quality.
