Palworld

Measured FPS Breakdown

The recorded data for Palworld on this AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT + Intel Arc B370 combination shows a clear performance ceiling: playable frame rates only appear at 1080p, with lower presets required as resolution increases. The Arc B370, an integrated-class GPU with a 5th percentile ranking among all GPUs, becomes the dominant bottleneck across every test scenario.

At 3840x2160, none of the four settings reach a playable average. Ultra produces an average of 13 FPS, High improves to 17 FPS, Medium reaches 23 FPS with a minimum of 19 FPS and maximum of 26 FPS, and Low tops out at 28 FPS. The gap between Low and Ultra is 15 FPS, which shows that even dropping to the least demanding preset cannot salvage 4K performance. The min/max data at Medium shows a narrow 7 FPS range, indicating consistent sub-30 FPS behavior rather than occasional dips.

Stepping down to 2560x1440 yields better results but still falls short of the 60 FPS threshold. Ultra averages 24 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, Medium averages 41 FPS with a 35 FPS minimum and 47 FPS maximum, and Low averages 50 FPS. The Medium preset at 1440p shows a 12 FPS spread between minimum and maximum, suggesting the engine is more variable at this resolution. Low at 50 FPS is the strongest result here, but it remains 10 FPS below the playable threshold.

At 1920x1080, the picture changes meaningfully. Low averages 76 FPS, comfortably above the 60 FPS target. Medium averages 62 FPS with a minimum of 52 FPS and maximum of 71 FPS, which clears the average threshold but dips below it in demanding scenes. High drops to 47 FPS, and Ultra falls to 36 FPS. The data shows that the jump from Low to Medium costs 14 FPS on average, while the jump from Medium to High costs 15 FPS, making each preset tier progressively more expensive in performance terms.

The min FPS at 1080p Medium is 52 FPS, which means players will see occasional stutter even on the best playable preset. Low at 1080p is the only configuration with a clear safety margin above 60 FPS, though its average of 76 FPS suggests headroom for stable gameplay.

FAQ

Q: Can this PC run Palworld at 4K?

A: No. At 3840x2160, the highest average FPS recorded is 28 FPS on Low settings. Medium averages 23 FPS, High averages 17 FPS, and Ultra averages 13 FPS. None of these approach the 60 FPS playable threshold.

Q: What is the best settings preset at 1440p?

A: Even the best 1440p result, Low at 50 FPS average, falls short of 60 FPS. Medium averages 41 FPS, High averages 31 FPS, and Ultra averages 24 FPS. No 1440p preset is playable according to the recorded data.

Q: Which settings at 1080p stay at or above 60 FPS?

A: Low averages 76 FPS and Medium averages 62 FPS. These are the only two playable presets across all resolutions and settings tested. High at 47 FPS and Ultra at 36 FPS do not meet the threshold.

The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868 (0% difference), the AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955 (0.3% higher), and the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713 (0.6% lower). The CPU is not the limiting factor in this combination.

Q: What is the FPS range at 1080p Medium settings?

A: The average is 62 FPS, with a minimum of 52 FPS and a maximum of 71 FPS. While the average clears the 60 FPS threshold, the minimum suggests that busy scenes or combat encounters can cause frame drops below the playable line.

Similar Performance Alternatives

The CPU and GPU in this combo each have closely matched rivals according to the database. On the CPU side, the AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT's average benchmark score of 29879 is nearly identical to three alternatives. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840H scores 29868, a negligible 0% delta. The AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS and AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS both score 29955, which is only 0.3% higher. The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X scores 29713, 0.6% lower. Any of these CPUs would deliver effectively the same frame rates in Palworld when paired with this GPU, because the graphics card is the performance bottleneck in every measured scenario.

On the GPU side, the Intel Arc B370's score of 1184 puts it in direct competition with several older parts. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 scores 1186, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 scores 1190, the AMD Radeon HD 7650M scores 1192, and the AMD FirePro M2000 scores 1168. All of these fall within 1.4% of the Arc B370's score. A system built with any of these GPUs would produce nearly identical Palworld results: sub-60 FPS at 1440p and 4K, with only 1080p Low and Medium clearing the threshold.

The practical implication is that swapping the Ryzen 7 5800XT for a Ryzen 7 7840H, 8845HS, 7840HS, or Ryzen 5 9600X would not change the gaming experience in Palworld. The measured FPS values would remain within the same range because the Arc B370's integrated-class performance caps the system. Similarly, replacing the Arc B370 with any of its listed GPU rivals would produce comparable results, all of which struggle to maintain 60 FPS at 1080p Medium.

How This Combo Ranks

The database places this combination at rank 3423 out of 3711 tested combos for Palworld. That puts it in the bottom 7.8% of all configurations, a position that reflects the GPU's severe performance limitation rather than any deficiency in the CPU. The Ryzen 7 5800XT's 81st percentile CPU ranking contrasts sharply with the Arc B370's 5th percentile GPU ranking, and the measured FPS data confirms that the graphics processor dictates the outcome.

A rank of 3423 out of 3711 means that roughly 308 other combinations tested slower than this one in Palworld. The combo does outperform the very bottom tier of hardware, as evidenced by the playable 1080p Low result. However, the gap to mainstream gaming systems is substantial: most tested combos achieve 60 FPS at higher resolutions or settings, while this system only manages it at 1080p Medium or Low.

The rank also explains the verdict pattern. At 4K and 1440p, the database records zero playable settings. At 1080p, exactly two settings qualify. This tiered outcome is consistent with a GPU that sits near the bottom of the performance distribution, where even modest resolution increases cause disproportionate frame rate drops.

The Verdict

This PC can run Palworld, but only under specific conditions. The verdict data shows playable settings exclusively at 1920x1080: Low and Medium both clear the 60 FPS average threshold. The best playable preset is Medium, which produces an average of 62 FPS. Low is also viable at 76 FPS average.

At 2560x1440, the system cannot maintain 60 FPS on any preset. The closest result is Low at 50 FPS average, which falls 10 FPS short. At 3840x2160, performance is worse still, with the best case being Low at 28 FPS average. The recorded data shows no playable settings at either resolution.

The verdict is unambiguous: this is a 1080p-only configuration for Palworld. Players who want a stable experience should target 1080p with Medium settings, accepting that minimum FPS will dip to 52 during demanding moments. Those who prioritize frame rate stability over visual quality should use Low settings, which provide a 76 FPS average and a larger safety margin above the 60 FPS line.

Best Settings per Resolution

At 3840x2160, no preset meets the 60 FPS requirement. The best recorded result is Low at 28 FPS average, but this is far below the playable threshold. The database lists no best settings for this resolution because playability is unattainable.

At 2560x1440, the same conclusion applies. No preset reaches 60 FPS, and the best result is Low at 50 FPS average. The database records no playable settings here either.

At 1920x1080, the most demanding preset that stays at or above 60 FPS is Medium. The measured average is 62 FPS, with a minimum of 52 FPS and a maximum of 71 FPS. This is the recommended configuration for maximum visual quality while maintaining playable performance. For players who prefer a more consistent frame rate, Low settings deliver 76 FPS average, which is 14 FPS higher than Medium but at reduced visual fidelity.

The step from Medium to High at 1080p drops the average from 62 FPS to 47 FPS, a 15 FPS loss that pushes the system below the playable threshold. Ultra at 36 FPS is even further off the mark. The data makes clear that Medium is the ceiling for this combination, and any preset above it sacrifices playability for visual effects that the Arc B370 cannot render fast enough.
