Question Terraria lag and GPU usage problem

[sirp2655]

Recently terraria has become laggy and unplayable, the game used to use like 10% of my GPU now its using 80 or more. T mod loader works fine it just the base game that has this issue. i have a 7800xt and a ryzen 5 7600. I also played 200+ hours before this issue started and other games work perfectly. Anyone know what might be going on?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

First, pleas pass on your full system's specs like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

While you're doing that, try the following;
Use DDU to remove all(Intel, Nvidia and AMD) GPU drivers in Safe Mode, then manually reinstall with the latest driver sourced from AMD's support site in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

If you performed a BIOS update, very recently, make sure you clear the CMOS provided the BIOS flash process was successful.

Probably the game is using integrated graphics instead of 7800xt.

Either disable integrated graphics in BIOS or
specify in Settings/Display/Graphics , that game should use discrete GPU (High Performance mode)
instead of integrated GPU (Power Saving).
