About Terraria

Terraria is a 2D game with correspondingly tiny requirements. Large modded worlds are the only realistic way to stress a modern machine with it.

Can my laptop run Terraria?

The same check applies — enter the parts your laptop actually contains. Be aware that a laptop graphics chip is usually slower than the desktop card it shares a name with, because the manufacturer sets a lower power limit. A laptop advertising the 256 MB video mem named here may therefore fall somewhat short of it in practice, and sustained performance drops further as the machine heats up. Treat a borderline laptop result as optimistic rather than assured.
